Fitness version of Christmas Pavé
For a lighter and healthier version, replace white and semi-sweet chocolate with versions with a higher cocoa content (70% or more). Use light cream and homemade whipped cream made with fresh whipped cream, without added sugar. Candied fruits can be replaced with fresh fruits, such as strawberries, kiwi or mango, which add natural sweetness and fewer calories.
Extra tip: To further reduce the sugar content, use whole-wheat biscuits or oatmeal cookies instead of ladyfinger biscuits. They will give the pavé a crunchy texture and an even more special flavor.
