Treating yourself to something sweet and decadent from time to time might actually stop you from binge eating later and ruining your low-calorie diet. Most desserts can actually be healthy-fied by substituting some of their ingredients. Without further ado, here are some familiar sweet treats with slightly modified recipes for guilt-free snacking.

1.) Vegan cherry chocolate chip ice cream

Who says ice cream can't be healthy? This frozen delight from Pop Sugar sure is and the best part is it is only made with four ingredients. The key is to put all the ingredients overnight so making or whipping up the "ice cream" will only take up to 10 minutes. This recipe calls for almond milk instead of dairy milk so this is great news for our lactose-intolerant friends. It's only 126 calories per serving.

2.) Warm Chocolate Cakes With Coffee Crème Anglaise

If you're a fan of warm chocolate coffee-flavored cake with rich creamy sauce, then you're in for a treat. This recipe from Self.com is only 139 calories per serving and is flourless so it's gluten-free and perfect for cold days when you want something sweet and warm to munch on.

3.) Chocolate peanut butter fudge recipe

This is reminiscent of the famous chocolate peanut butter candy, Reese. However, it's only 83 calories per piece and is generally healthier and yummier. This recipe from Daily Burn makes 24 pieces and all so it makes a great go-to snack for when you're craving something sweet without indulging in store-bought sweets. Instead of the traditional butter and sugar for the fudge, this recipe is made from coconut oil, Stevia and honey. If you have chocolate protein powder lying around, you can put those in too for extra protein goodness.

4.) Southwestern kale chips

Making vegetables into chips are all the rage right now and while there are many store-bought versions that promises "low-fat" or "low-calorie" in labels, you just can't be too sure if there are additives that can be harmful. You can make your own batch instead with this recipe from Skinny Ms. Every ingredient listed in the recipe is organic and can already be found in your kitchen. Each serving is only 142 calories.

5.) Skinny pumpkin pie

This is a traditional recipe for fall and a favorite amongst families. This recipe from Skinny Mom has been "skinny-fied" and made healthier with only 134 calories per slice. You can go ahead and puree fresh pumpkins for this treat too.
