During the colder winter months, we tend to crave rich foods and desserts. When the temperatures rise and the weather gets nicer, we don’t feel the need for all that sugar. Instead, we prefer a light dessert<\/a> that leaves us satisfied but not feeling too guilty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fruit salad<\/h2>\n

Probably one of the most popular options is the versatile fruit salad. The fruit salad is a wonderful light dessert that can be made with a variety of fresh fruits and you can even add some canned fruit if you prefer. In fact, the syrup in the fruit cans will even add some much-needed sweetness if the fresh fruit you use tastes a little sour (like kiwis). You can top your salad with ice cream or cr\u00e8me fraiche if you like, but it’s not mandatory. Many people prefer to leave the salad as it is.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chocolate fondue<\/h2>\n

If you love chocolate but don’t want to go overboard, you can serve a dark chocolate fondue. Served with fresh fruit for dipping, dark chocolate is the healthier option when it comes to chocolate since it’s high in cocoa rather than fat.<\/p>\n

Fruity sorbet<\/h2>\n

Homemade sorbet is also a great refreshing and light dessert loved by people of all ages. Young and old alike appreciate the fresh, fruity taste and fresh sensation as it glides down the throat. Sorbet can be made with almost any type of fresh or canned fruit. It’s a healthier option than soft ice cream and won’t make you feel so guilty about serving a second helping!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Delicious ice cream<\/h2>\n

If you crave ice cream, you can still enjoy it without going overboard. Skip the rich syrups and sauces and add fresh fruit instead. Vanilla ice cream is great with almost any fruit, but you can also top strawberry ice cream with berries to complete this light dessert, for example.<\/p>\n

Popsicles<\/h2>\n

Finally, if you have popsicle molds or even a spare ice tray, you can use fresh fruit juice to make your own popsicles! These are great for kids especially and don’t cost a fortune!<\/p>\n

These are a few excellent light dessert ideas suitable for all ages and personal preferences. You can enjoy something a little creamy or stick to fruit if you prefer. You could even prepare many of them in advance so that you don’t spend the whole day in the kitchen on the day of your big event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
