Basic principles of preparation of dietary desserts:

Dairy products, for example: cream, sour cream, natural unsweetened, yogurt and cottage cheese - an excellent basis for useful dietary desserts.
Regarding the fat content of dairy products: according to recent scientific research, it is considered erroneous to believe that it is better to use dairy products with a minimum fat content for cooking dietary foods (among other things, they are usually disgusting to taste). Use medium-fat dairy products, without any flavoring or other chemical additives.
