We all like to indulge in sweet some things every now and then. While both young and old enjoy giving their sweet tooth some indulgence, it is kids who crave for something sweet all the time. Of course, you have the option of showering your young ones with chocolates and cookies. But, why do that when you have healthier ways to satisfy your child's sweet cravings.
One of the healthiest dessert that you can make for your child is the stuffed fruit. Get any hard fruit that your child likes. It could be an apple, pear or even a pineapple. Now core the fruit. Take out the core of the fruit and stuff it with marshmallows. If you want, you could also fill it with ice cream or some chocolates or nuts. This one makes sure that your child gets at least a serving of fruits and satisfies his taste buds too.
Another great dessert that you can have for your child is banana pops. This one is absolutely easy to make. Simply peel of the bananas and freeze them in the deep refrigerator. Once the bananas have frozen and have become slightly hard, insert a popsicle length wise into the fruit. If you think that your child will not like this, then dip the banana in chocolate and place it on a wax paper and then freeze. Your child will love this one for sure.
A brownie fruit sundae is another idea if you want to serve your child with a dessert that is healthy and yummy too. Get some brownies from the market. If you have the patience and the time, you can make some at home too. Now place the brownie in a small bowl, and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Add to this some hot chocolate sauce along with a couple of nuts and fresh fruits. Your child will not be able to resist this one for sure.
If you are looking for an instant dessert then ice cream cookie sandwiches are the way to go. Get chocolate chip cookies from the market or make them on your own. If you want to up the health quotient, opt for whole grain biscuits. Now, depending upon the size of the cookie or the biscuit spread some ice cream on the cookie. Top it with another biscuit or cookie so that it becomes a sandwich. A yummy dessert will be ready in a matter of few seconds.
Making desserts for your child is not that difficult. All you need to do is put in a little effort and you will be able to satisfy your child's sweet cravings in the best possible manner.
