I’m the kind of person who to have to have dessert after dinner. No matter how full I am or how many treats I’ve had in the day, there’s not a moment when I don’t craving for dessert. Making homemade, healthy desserts not only satisfies my cravings, but the ingredients used in the healthy treats are energizing and nourishing. These are by far my ten favorite recipes that I make more often than I should.

Personalized Niçoise cream
Beautiful Cream is an easy, no-bake healthy dessert that I make all the time. With the same creamy texture as ice cream, Beautiful Cream is packed with wholesome ingredients. Depending on what you want, mix together all the frozen fruit, the nut butter of your choice and a little milk, as well as all the other ingredients of your choice. Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream is not only refreshing, but the natural sweetness of bananas is unlike anything else.

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 large spoonful of peanut butter
A splash of milk
Blend until preferred consistency.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oatmeal
While overnight oats aren’t the typical dessert, oats are the perfect base for a sweet treat. In all honesty, oats are bland, which is why toppings are key to turning oats into a delicious meal, snack, or dessert. Peanut butter and jelly oats are one of my all time favorite desserts. The creamy consistency of oats combined with sweet jelly and salted peanut butter is a comforting dessert you can count on to satisfy your cravings.
1/2 cup oats
1/2 milk
1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Let the oats sit in the refrigerator for a few hours.
