Healthy Holiday Desserts

Food Network Kitchen replaced most of the cream cheese in a traditional cheesecake with 1 percent cottage cheese, then added cocoa powder and just a touch of melted chocolate. The end result: a silky and rich, deeply chocolatey dessert.

Giada De Laurentiis fills phyllo cups with mascarpone cheese mixed with sweet raspberry yogurt and juicy pineapple chunks, then tops it all with chocolate shavings for a quick, easy and light dessert.

These crispy cookies will give your full-fat recipe a run for its money. By adding some ground oats to whole-wheat pastry flour, cutting the butter and adding some agave nectar, Food Network Kitchen cut the fat and calories without sacrificing flavor.

Food Network Kitchen added chocolate to the classic British digestive biscuit to highlight the richness of the oats, plus hazelnuts for texture and crunch. The cakes aren't too sweet, which means they're the perfect match for afternoon tea.
