English term or phrase: go-to dessert
I have to tanslate the following phrase: "Keep frozen berries on hand for a great go-to, low-cal dessert".

It's for Argentinean Spanish. The only thing I could come up to so far is "postre comodín de bajas calorías", but I'm not 100% sure. Any help is appreciated!

postre por defecto


Explanation:
No es que suene muy apetitoso, pero así me ha salido (más bien, me salió "postre defecto", pero sí que lo descarté!).

Usuario por defecto, configuración por defecto....

Una idea, vamos.
