October 14 celebrates my favorite part of a meal….it is National Dessert Day, and who doesn’t love dessert (well most of us do anyway)? For just one day, forget about the calories and high fat content, tomorrow you can go back to your healthy ways. And if you’re one of those people who leaves some food on the plate, because you need to save room for dessert, then today is your holiday!
In honor of this yummy day, here are a few of my favorite recipes from where else…Pinterest (yes I am a Pinterest addict). I’ve only tried making a few of these, but they all look delicious!
Salted Caramel Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars, recipe here.
Mini Cannoli Cream Cups, recipe here.
Strawberry Ricotta Popsicle, recipe here.
Key Lime Pie Bars, recipe here.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Shots, recipe here.
Mason Jar Strawberry Shortcake, recipe here.

Frozen Pink Lemonade Pie, recipe here.
Chocolate Chip Cookies, recipe here.
Guava and Cheese Flan, recipe here.

My favorite ice creams!
Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake
