15 Halloween Dessert Ideas
This holiday season, from Halloween through the New Year, can easily be one of the most difficult times to maintain a healthy diet and keep the candy indulgence to a minimum.
But here at CleanFoodCrush, we believe in everything in moderation, so there’s no need to stay away from delicious treats completely.
Here are 15 delicious and cleaner dessert ideas for the entire family to enjoy this Halloween!
1. Creative Orange-Filled Jack O’Lanterns
Have you carved pumpkins yet? What about oranges? I don’t know about you, but there is something SO fun about your food having a face. And these Orange-Filled Jack O’Lanterns are one of the few times your kids are actually allowed to play with their food.
2. October Chocolate Pumpkin Balls
Ultimate truffles for the season! Pumpkin is super filling and satisfying, thanks to its high fiber content, but pumpkin is also low-calorie. Meaning it will both fill you up with high nutrients AND fill you with energy.
3. Pumpkin Ice Cream
Here’s another way to enjoy some nutritious and tasty pumpkins! It’s probably the easiest pumpkin dessert I’ve ever made. If you’re still having warm days where you live, then why not enjoy some ice cream?
4. Crustless Pumpkin Pie
This crustless pumpkin pie is an excellent idea for those needing a gluten-free dessert for whatever reason. It’s a silky-smooth indulgence topped with a coconut whipped cream dollop for the perfect Halloween dessert!
5. Easy Homemade Pumpkin Brownies
Everyone is going to LOVE these rich, decadent brownies! They’re a classic dessert with a fun Fall Halloween spin.
6. Rachel’s Healthier Caramel Sauce
This homemade caramel sauce tastes just as wonderful as the store-bought kind but without all the refined sugar and corn syrup. You can use it as a fruit dip or spoon it on anything you’d like!
7. Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies
Cool Autumn evenings are perfect for baking! These cookies contain all of my favorite things: chewy oats, indulgent PB, glorious pumpkin, and, of course, chocolate. Use any dark chocolate chips of your choice: the higher the cacao percentage, the healthier!
8. Halloween PB Apple Monsters
Your kiddos are going to LOVE these little monsters. And you’re going to love sneaking some fruit into their diet without them even realizing it. This recipe is super easy, fun, and great for the entire family.
9. Protein Chocolate Pudding
A rich and creamy chocolate pudding that’s not only delicious but also packed with protein and nutrients! It’ll provide plenty of energy and is an excellent idea for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert.
10. Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Who doesn’t want some chocolate this spooky month? You can always have your kids help you prepare them if you’re looking for fun activities to fill the day.
11. Easy Honey Peach Crisp
Peaches are at the end of their peak season, so now is a great time to try this crisp while they’re still bursting with flavor. The combination of ripe peaches, honey, and crunchy oat topping is a match made in heaven.
12. Date Caramel Bites
A deliciously easy and nutritious snack that’s perfect for family fun. Sink your teeth into a soft, chewy date caramel center coated in rich, velvety dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. It’s a taste sensation that’s both decadent and nutritious!
13. Chocolate Zucchini Bars
Don’t let the zucchini turn you away from these bars because they are delicious! And it’s a clever way to sneak some veggies into your kids’ diets. Also, zucchini is loaded with vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, such as fiber, vitamin B6, iron, zinc, vitamin A, and potassium.
14. Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Why not have breakfast for dessert? Or dessert for breakfast? These pancakes are the best of both worlds and will quickly become a fall family favorite!
15. Holiday Pear Crumble
Here’s a warm, cozy, rustic, all-natural dessert you can easily make after dinner tonight. It has just the right touch of sweetness to finish off a holiday meal and satisfy that craving for something sweet and comforting.
