We don’t know about you, but the warmer weather always has us craving something sweet…

If you’re on the hunt for some healthier – but equally as tasty – treats to whip up this summer, look no further: we’ve got five delicious recipes which are guaranteed to get your mouths watering, all coming in at 100 calories or fewer.

Cherry Sherbet

Called a sherbet rather than a sorbet, due to the addition of Greek yoghurt, this recipe from Yummy Healthy Easy is downright delicious. Combine Greek yoghurt with frozen cherries, a dash of milk and some sweetner in a blender for a bowlful of yummy, fruity, sherbet-y goodness. Find the full recipe here.

Like an Eton mess, just fewer calories. Strawberries and crème fraiche is our go-to summer dinner party dessert, and looks lovely served in glasses with distinct, colourful layers. Add a dash of vanilla essence or some crushed mint or basil leaves to your crème fraiche topping to give a more luxurious flavour; for texture, crumble some Amaretti biscuits over the top for a low-cal crunch.
