Sure, Valentine’s Day is all about the splurging, especially when it comes to dessert. But if you don’t have to load up on saturated fat and empty calories, why do it?
Think sultry dark chocolate, sparkling jeweled fruits, and luscious–but lighter–versions of classic favorites like chocolate cake and cheesecake.
We’re smitten with these decadent healthy dessert recipes.

LOVE this roundup! Such delicious and creative ideas 🙂
Thanks, Anne!
So are all these vegan dessert
Several of these desserts are vegan, yes – but not all.
I don’t know how I STILL haven’t made those vegan cheesecake stuffed straws! They totally stole my heart when you first posted them 🙂 Love this list!
They’ve been on my must-make list for forever, too. 🙂
this is SO funny, I was up at 6am making those Pomegranate Cranberry Hearts to bring to friends today! this is a delicious collection, honored to be included!
It’s a Pomegranate Cranberry Heart kind of day! I am so in love with those – especially the heart shape, of course. 🙂
Wow-Great line-up just when I was looking for some healthy Val Day inspiration. Can I just say how lovely it is to navigate through your blog? So easy and quick. Great work. Will tweet this post to share!
Hi Lori, so glad you liked it! 🙂
I will take one of everything please!! Thanks for including my “ice cream”:)
Of course! It’s the most beautiful (and creative) banana ice cream I’ve seen! I was shocked when I saw it was banana based. Looks just like the real thing. 🙂
I love this roundup! Nothing like delicious treats for VDay that are on the healthier end of the spectrum! I’m thinking I need to fashion up a few of these recipes and give them to my friends for VDay. Thanks so much for including my peanut butter brownie bites! They’re certainly delicious!
There are just so many incredible, creative recipes out there in the blogosphere – such an insanely talented pool of people out there. You included! 🙂 LOVE the looks of those things. My guy – total PB & chocolate fiend – would be all over them.
I’m in luuve with all these v-day desserts! Those stuffed strawberries are too cute!
Aren’t those great?! So creative.
Thank you so much for including my donut recipe!
Those are seriously the most gorgeous donuts I’ve seen! 🙂
I LOVE recipe round-ups and as a veggie with a SERIOUS sweet tooth, this guilt-free recipe round-up is WONDERFUL!
I definitely will be making the Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream & the Pomegranate Cranberry Hearts.
Thanks for this!
Those are two of my must-makes, also!
What great recipes (and ideas) for a Healthier indulgence day.
Thanks, Kira! I agree – no reason to get crazy when these treats are *plenty* indulgent, really.
What amazing V-day treats! I want to try every single one. Thanks for sharing, Kare, Kieresten.
Me too. I guess if we down 15 desserts it probably negates the whole “healthy” thing, right? 😉 Hee hee.
They all look so good!
But I think I would make the dark chocolate coconut pudding…Mmmm!
It just looks so utterly perfect, right?!
I’m currently thinking I should celebrate V-Day every day this month by making one of these. Because how can I choose just one?!
You are brilliant!
Yum! So many great choices.
I definitely will take one of each! What a great collection!
I’m drooling over here! I especially want to try the cherry vanilla ice cream and chocolate PB brownie bites. They both sound so delicious!
It was big-time drool over here when I was putting this list together! 🙂
Oh, yay! A dessert post. Thank you! 😀
And this is a great roundup. I spent hours this morning looking for something healthier to make for Valentine’s Day and everything was all red, sprinkly, and full of waaay too much sugar. Off to check these out! 🙂
Yes! As I’ve cut way down on artificial food dyes over the past couple of years, I find that they’re EVE-RY-WHERE. Especially when it comes to V-Day desserts. It’s fun to find more natural ways to incorporate the hue (and when you can cut the sugar, too, all the better!)
