Hi everyone,
 
When I have guests over for dinner, I think it's festive to serve some kind of dessert. This can be tricky, though, because the daily calorie allowance that's healthy for my body doesn't leave much room for decadent sweets. I often serve mixed berries with a little dark chocolate, which is always a hit. But it's fun to have options, especially when it's something fun and unexpected to surprise your (grown-up) guests with!
 
Here's one idea, inspired by Martha Stewart. I can't tell you exactly how many calories are in this, so try it at our own risk—but it's a whole lot lighter than a slice of cheesecake! Just cut cantaloupe or watermelon into fun shapes using small cookie cutters, soak the fruit in a margarita (or a mojito!) for 15 minutes, pop the fruit on a wooden stick, and freeze it for at least 1 hour for a yummy adult treat! A fancy, modern jell-o shot, if you will. Ha.
 
Do you have any ideas for fun and light sweet treats for the end of a dinner party? Please share them here!

i have a healthy choice, i cut up apples maybe 1 but cinnamon on it pkg artificial sweetner on it and some rolled oats on top and bake it in the microwave for  aoubt 1 minute and it tastes like apple crisp made in 1 minute i usually make this for myself .. but if you want to make for few people add more apples etc.  enjoy

I know when I have large family dinners, everyone is looking for the chocolate dessert.  I have found and easy , low fat, low cal way of not disappointing them...Place graham cracker crumbs in 13x9 pan. Just on the bottom is fine.  This takes about 4 boxes of the chocolate Jello pudding that you cook.  Cook as directed for pies, using low fat milk.  After the pudding thickens, pour it over the graham cracker crumbs.  Let it set til cool, then cover the top with sugar free low fat cool whip.  The people in my family who are NOT watching their weight, love this...enjoy!!
