Looking for healthy, low cal dessert recipes that freeze well. Can you please share yours?

I'm looking for desserts/treats that are low cal and fairly healthy in ingredients that can be frozen in individual serving sized portions and thawed for serving. I''m hoping that having these types of itmes on hand will help me when I'm having serious cravings. That way I can reach for a healthy and appetizing treat in the freezer as opposed to running off to the bakery!








P.S. I find desserts containing fruit flavors to be the most satisfying!!Looking for healthy, low cal dessert recipes that freeze well. Can you please share yours?
