How can I make this Heavenly Recipe Healthier? Rich, Indulgent Ingredients but oh SO yummy


Ok, I'm a glutton for punishment as they say.  I was looking around Pillsbury.com for a fun and "healthier" desert idea, when I stumbled upon this photo and recipe - and I have such a weakness for chocolatey, fudgey, yummy goodies.  So NOT on my diet plan!  So, I'm asking all my friends out there in the Cyber World to help me find a way to still enjoy this scruptious desert but make it healthier, and still retain the yummy taste!  Any Ideas are Oh So Welcome!

  • Ingredients









    1 roll Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookie dough






    1 container (8 oz) mascarpone cheese






    2/3 cup Jif® Chocolate Flavored Hazelnut Spread






    3/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts






    1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips






    1/2 cup heavy whipping cream






    2 tablespoons granulated white or vanilla sugar











    Steps







    • 1
      Heat
      oven to 350°F. Let cookie dough and mascarpone cheese stand at room
      temperature for 10 minutes to soften. In medium bowl, break up cookie
      dough. Add 2 tablespoons of the mascarpone cheese, 1/3 cup of the
      chocolate hazelnut spread and 1/2 cup of the hazelnuts. Mix with wooden
      spoon until well blended.

      Press
      1/2 of the dough mixture in bottom of ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
      In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 1/3 cup chocolate
      hazelnut spread on High 10 seconds; stir until spreading consistency.
      Spread over dough to within 1/4-inch of edge; sprinkle chocolate chips
      over chocolate hazelnut spread. Place remaining dough between layers of
      waxed paper. Press into 9-inch round. Peel off one layer of paper. Place
      dough side down over chocolate chips. Remove waxed paper; press edges
      to seal. Gently tap pan on counter to settle. Sprinkle with remaining
      1/4 cup nuts; lightly press into dough.

      Wrap

      jiggle slightly). Cool on cooling rack 30 to 40 minutes or until center
      is set but still warm. Remove side of pan.
