Trying to avoid heavy, fattening desserts? The natural sweetness of fruit packed into a dessert will leave you just as satisfied as a sugar cookie and you'll get some extra vitamins out of it, too!

Best of all, you won't feel like you need to run a marathon after dinner to work off your last course.

Try some of our healthy fruit desserts tonight:

Enjoy the pleasure of cheesecake with far fewer calories and less fat. This lightened-up mousse is also delicious when it's made with fresh raspberries or fresh or frozen strawberries. 

Use ripe but firm pears in this delectable, low-fat dessert. Quark is a tangy, low-fat, fresh cheese, but you can use low-fat cottage cheese or ricotta if you like. Dark-hued buckwheat honey adds a touch of molasses flavour, but you can substitute any other type of honey.

Oats, nuts, apples and pears make a very healthy combination, especially when sweetening is kept to a minimum.
