1. Our cheesecakes are sure to impress on Mother’s Day for reasons threefold: they’re individually plated and smothered in caramel sauce, use just five ingredients and boast a 167-calorie count. See the Caramel Cheesecake recipe.
2. Does Mom love to entertain? Crafted from durable acacia wood, the 16-inch diameter tray of the Nambé Butterfly Chip & Dip set offers ample room for serving whole-grain breads and crackers, while the tarnish-resistant bowl is perfect for spreadable appetizers. $175.
3. This pie is reminiscent of the chocolate peanut novelty cones doled out by ice cream trucks every summer and those chilly, chocolate-robed frozen bananas of childhood. Sweetened only by the bananas themselves, it’s no wonder this cool treat keeps calories in check. See the Chocolate Banana Freezer Pie recipe.

We borrowed the soft, light topping of a classic pie, cleaned it up and popped it onto a moist lemony cupcake for a lovely single-serving dessert – so Mom only has to invest 5 grams of fat! See the Lemon Meringue Cupcakes recipe.
