Midterm and exam season are well underway, and you know what that means– late nights spent cramming and hoping that the one concept from the textbook you never really understood miraculously doesn't make it onto the test. Maybe the world of Zoom and Blackboard has pushed you to the edge and you're choosing to "wing it" because hey, why not? Either way, if you're like me, that means you may tend to stress eat. Need to snack, but can't shake the habits that leave you with nothing but regrets after all is said and done? Well, be glad you're here, because here are three simple desserts to whip up if you're tired of your go-to pint of Ben and Jerry's.

These simple dessert recipes are inspired by ideas that I found scrolling through Pinterest, yet was quickly able to master them during quarantine. The best part is that they should not even require an extra trip to the grocery store! With limited supplies in your dorm room/apartment, any of these are sure to satisfy that late-night sweet craving while also eating clean and healthy. Choose a recipe, get cooking, and enjoy!
