Dessert Recipes

A dessert should be planned to complement the meal. If you're serving a heavy meal, dessert should be light and easily digested.

Use desserts to balance your meal. If a lot of calories are consumed during the main meal, go light on the dessert. If the main meal is low in calories, you have some room to go sweet with dessert. If the ingredients of the main meal are expensive, prepare an inexpensive dessert. If the main meal is time consuming to prepare, make a dessert that is simple, quick, and easy. Balance in all things.
