10 Healthy Thanksgiving Desserts by Dana Angelo White in Thanksgiving, November 9, 2012
Planning your turkey day menu? We’ve got something for every kind of sweet tooth, all filled with fall flavors.
Cheesecake
A lower-fat cheesecake that’s not low on flavor. If you’ve never tried this combination before, now’s the time.
Recipe: Pumpkin Cheesecake
Turnovers
Cut the calories on apple pie with this lightened pastry.
Recipe: Apple Cranberry Phyllo Turnovers
Caramels
A bite-sized treat, filled with pumpkin goodness.
Recipe: Pumpkin Caramels
Chocolate-Dipped Fruit
These are always a crowd pleaser – a balance of healthy and decadent.
Recipe: Chocolate Dipped Clementines
Oatmeal Crisps
Light, crunchy and perfectly portioned; serve these cookies with a platter of fresh fruit.
Recipe: Ginger Pecan Oatmeal Crisps
Chutney
Serve this chutney with a cheese platter for a different spin on dessert.
Recipe: Cranberry Apple Ginger Chutney
Vegan Tart
Make pie crust without the butter! This vegan dessert will please everyone.
Recipe: Vegan Pear Tart
Cranberry Cookies
Those berries aren’t just for the cranberry sauce; they add natural sweet-tart flavor to cookies.
Recipes: Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
Twists
Puff pastry might not be the lowest calorie choice but a little goes a long way in this recipe. Each twist has less than 250 calories per serving.
Recipe: Cinnamon Pecan Twists
Roasted Grapes
Another one for the cheese platter – serve these grapes with a sharp cheddar or a full-flavored blue cheese.
Recipe: Sweet Roasted Grapes

Great list – I usually make a cookie similar to the cinnamon pecan twists but it had orange zest too.
The pumpkin caramels sound wonderful – yum!

I just made a Peanut Butter-Pumpkin Muffin (on my blog today) that was meant to be a healthy snack, but I think is good enough for T-day dessert! I also really like to make a simple saute of pineapple, cinnamon, and a touch or rum and/or butter. Tastes decadent but it guilt-free!
