As a self-proclaimed and diagnosed chocoholic, sometimes one portion of anything chocolate just isn’t good enough. It’s in those weakest moments that I turn to what I call “second best” which is any type of fruity dessert. Don’t get me wrong, fruity desserts are pretty awesome in their own right, but to a chocoholic they are merely 2nd place. Interestingly enough, since I’ve weened off the chocolate, I find myself wanting it less, and generally being more satisfied with a once-second-place fruity dessert.

Not only are fruity desserts satisfying for my chocolate-free evenings, but they are surprisingly easy to make! The great thing about fruit desserts compared to chocolate, is that after a moderate serving, I can walk away and be done with it. I’m not tempted for a second piece, I’m just satisfied.
