15 WW Desserts Under 4 Points to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

A commitment to lose or maintain weight does not mean a promise to skip out on all things sweet. Dessert can absolutely be part of a healthy weight-loss plan, and the countless tasty treats available under the WW plan (formerly Weight Watchers) proves it.

Whether you're following the WW SmartPoints system or you're just looking for something satisfying that won't torpedo your healthy eating, the sweets listed below check all the boxes.

Before we get to all things delicious, here's a quick look at exactly how the WW SmartPoints system works. Instead of tracking calories, the system calculates a daily points allowance for you based on your height, weight, age, sex and weight-loss goal.

Every type of food is given a specific points value based on its nutritional profile, including its calories, protein, saturated fat and sugar.

The allotment of total daily points differ depending on the individual.

Most fruits and veggies are zero points, meaning you can pile them on — that's why sweet, seasonal fruit star in many of the divine desserts below. It's called nature's candy for a reason.

Every person using the WW SmartPoints System has a minimum of 23 points to use throughout each day.

Below, you'll find dessert recipes below that range from 0 to 4 points. Of course, you don't need to be following any kind of WW plan to enjoy these, so let yourself be seduced by these non-diet-busters.
