Throwback Thursday, Dessert Bites
I know that many people like to eat lighter in January
after a month of December celebrations, parties and gatherings
BUT you don’t have to give up desserts,
it’s all about the size!
These recipes will satisfy your sweet tooth
without leaving you feeling guilty!
Peanut Butter Mousse Minis taste like a combination
of ice cream and cheesecake and only about 75 calories each
Keep a batch in your freezer and grab one whenever you want
Cannoli Dip is made with made with low fat ricotta
and whipped cream cheese
Serve it with low cal dippers such as strawberries,
apple slices or small cookies
You’ll feel like you had a slice of cheesecake
But with a lot less fat and calories!
Petite Cheesecake Boules are small balls of cheesecake
that are combined with a variety of ingredients
There’s no guilt involved with eating just one little boule,
and there is something about an elegant presentation
that leaves you satisfied with less~
Two Bite Cherry Pies take only 5 minutes to prep
Have one or two and feel good about not having
a big slice of pie ala mode!
All you need are 3 simple ingredients to make a
Mascarpone cheese, caramel sauce and toffee bits
Lemon Shooters mini dessert parfaits are just the right size
to make your sweet tooth happy
without feeling too guilty
Key Lime Pie Minis are light and refreshing with a no bake filling
Strawberry Cookie Cups are a strawberry version of Key Lime Minis
Like I said, it’s all about the size~
I hope you enjoy these dessert bites!

I love mini desserts..easier for portion control and much cuter!
Thanks Angie!
These would be a great idea for Cork Poppers, now that we don’t do sit-down dinners but apps and desserts, mostly finger foods! Thanks, Jenna. Saving several!
Yes, these would be perfect for Cork Poppers Jeanie!
All things in moderation, right? A little something sweet is always a good thing.
I agree, sometimes all you need is a little bite, thanks Bernadette!
Well, I’m all about the Key Lime Pie Minis. And what a wonderful, wise idea to help us have a bite of something delicious, minus the guilt. When I was a little girl and we visited the bakery in town I so loved the mini Petit fours–I’m sure it was because one was so manageable for little fingers. Thanks, Jenna, from our grateful waistlines! Georgia Gal
Good choice, those are really good! Thanks Georgia Gal!
