Prevention Healthy Favorites: Dessert Recipes

Dessert! Just the word brings a smile to even the seasoned cooks at Prevention. Who doesn''t love the thought of luscious cheesecake, a warm-from-the-oven cookie, or a perfect piece of lemon meringue pie? But there''s nothing enjoyable about creating a dessert in your own kitchen only to be dissatisfied with the results.

There is no worry of disappointment here. This Prevention-tested recipe collection is focused on treats we know will satisfy you. With an assortment of reliable flavor combinations and some new surprises, they all have an eye toward good health (really!). Within these pages you''ll find fabulous desserts for every occasion. Get your chocolate on with Chocolate-Pecan Cheesecake or Chocolate Lava Cake; satisfy your taste for fruit with Pear-Cranberry Upside-Down Cake; linger over the crunch of a Dark Chocolate Biscotti; or just have some fun with a Whoopie Pie! Each of our recipes was created to nourish both body and spirit, and to be as easy as possible to put together.

Like good cooks everywhere, the editors of Prevention love nothing more than sharing their favorite healthy and delicious dishes.
