Tuesday Top Five - Guilt Free Desserts

I am not known for making health conscious desserts, but with summer fast approaching it's important to keep some bikini friendly snacks on hand to get you from one delicious piece of cake to the next!

Here are my top 5 favorite light desserts that I've collected from magazines, online articles and friends over the years:

5. Baked apple with jelly - place a baking apple in an oven safe dish (glass pie pan or any pan with sides) and put a dot of jelly in the center. Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the apple is soft. Eat with a spoon, like hot homemade applesauce.

4. Graham cracker cool whip froze bar - spread cool whip in between two graham crackers and leave it in the freezer for a couple of hours. When you take it out you'll have a mock ice cream sandwich. You can make a few ahead of time and take them out of the freezer as cravings occur.

3. Chocolate covered strawberries - simply melt chocolate and dip strawberries in. Put the dipped berries on a baking sheet (with a silpat or aluminum foil) and leave in the fridge until they set up.

2. Bananas with cocoa and coconut - halve a banana and dip it in cococa powder. Roll the cocoa covered banana in sweetened, shredded coconut and you have yourself a chocolate pina colada!

1. Blueberry Almond Turtles - Place dried blueberries and slice almonds in a bowl. Melt chocolate over a double boiler and drizzle chocolate over the berries and nuts. Use your hands or a cookie scoop to make small clusters and leave in the fridge until they set up. YUM!
