18 Desserts With 50 Calories Or Less

A slice of pumpkin pecan cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory contains 1,080 calories. There is a time and a place for such a rich dessert, maybe, but the time is not every day after dinner. Just a single serving amounts to over half the recommended daily calorie intake for the average adult. Yeesh.

When you're hankering for something sweet but on the opposite side of the Cheesecake Factory spectrum, look no further than these 18 tasty, lightened-up desserts below. All of them are fit to satisfy a sugar craving, and none have more than 50 calories apiece. Yahoo!
