Healthy Strategies for Dessert

• Reduce the amount you make. Make cupcakes for individual portions.

• Serve less, eat less. Use smaller plates to fool the eye.

• Substitute lighter ingredients. You can often use egg whites or egg substitutes for a substantial cut in calories and fat.

• Be fat-free when you can. Fat-free cream cheese works fine in recipes for lighter cheesecakes and icing.

• Think before you eat. If you know dessert is going to be important, decrease what you eat before it.
