Indulge Mom’s sweet tooth with one of these decadent Mother’s Day desserts. Invite her to sit back and kick her feet up while you make her favorite treats.

Skip the bakery or the ice cream parlor and indulge Mom’s sweet tooth with one of these 45 chocolate or fruit Mother’s Day desserts. The recipes, created by registered dietitians and kid food bloggers, cook up quick, have a nutritious twist, and are ideal for a novice cook.

Being both a mom and a dessert lover, I took it upon myself to do some sleuthing to find not 1, not a dozen, but 45 delicious Mother’s Day dessert recipes that can be made at the last-minute by even the most novice cook.

And do you want to know the secret about these desserts? Almost all of them are created by registered dietitians which means they have cleverfully swapped out some not so great ingredients and replaced them with something just a little bit better. Now don’t get me wrong, we dietitians love to balance a giant chocolate chip cookie with our asparagus and Brussels sprouts, however, you can rest assured that these foodie bloggers know a thing or two about how to combine the most nutritious ingredients to create the most irresistible treat.

Ask Mom to peruse this list of recipes, choose a few favorites and then invite her to sit back and enjoy a decadent Mother’s Day dessert that can be whipped up in no time!

(Pssst….looking for a special gift for Mom too, these are my favorite personalized Mother’s Day gift ideas.)
