Does anybody know any healthy desert recipes?

I just want some good tasting and healthy ';deserts'; for after dinner for my kids. So far I have 1 of my kids eating some strawberries with low fat, low sugar, and low calorie whipped-cream. My kids love almost all fruits, and love sweets. I would like these deserts to be easy for kids 8-12 years old to make by themselves, but with adult supervision.


I appreciate your help!!Does anybody know any healthy desert recipes?

Yes, I do. Don't overpopulate the desert. Don't pollute the desert with litter. Don't run all over the desert with dirt bikes. That's how to make sure your desert is healthy. Which desert is your favorite? Mojave Desert? Sonora Desert? Gobi Desert? Desert Storm?


Honestly, why do Americans think they're the smartest people in the world when they can't even spell their own language properly? And yes, I know I'm scolding you, but if you don't even TRY to be more aware of doing any job properly (including spelling) then how can you expect to rear your children properly? Sound educational values begin in the home, not the school, and we as parents must set the best example we can for our children. That includes a proper attitude toward correct spelling and grammar.





Now, as to a healthy DESSERT, well, most desserts aren't all that healthy, but that's kind of why they're a treat, isn't it? Maybe a fruit salad with a little whipped cream on top, or some chocolate-covered strawberries. You can get the chocolate syrup at the store and warm it in the microwave, and then the kids can dip each strawberry as they eat it.
