Holiday Nog
Make your holidays bright with this light, frothy holiday nog. Made with nondairy milk, sweetened with dates and maple syrup plus a hint of vanilla and spices, it offers lots of festive cheer with no saturated fat, cholesterol, or added sugar. A bit of cardamom makes it reminiscent of a spiced chai latte. Serve this nog chilled or warm. You can make up a batch several days in advance, but give it a whirl in the blender just before serving for extra frothiness.
Traditional Cranberry Sauce
Embellish any holiday dish with a ruby-red dollop of this classic tart and tangy sauce. Feel free to dress it up with a little orange zest, a squeeze of orange juice, a cinnamon stick, or a pinch of allspice. It’s also surprisingly good stirred into nonfat yogurt for a fruity breakfast treat. Cranberry sauce can be made up to 1 week before serving.
Pumpkin Un-Cheesecake
A tasty pumpkin tofu cheesecake recipe that is quick to prepare. Just blend a few simple ingredients together and bake!
Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
These dense, fudgy cupcakes are a chocolate lover’s dream, with no added sugar and no added fat. Fresh raspberries add sophistication, making them a perfect special-occasion dessert. Whole wheat pastry flour is milled more finely and made from lower-protein wheat, so it’s more delicate and better for baking muffins, cakes, cookies, and quick breads while still offering all the benefits of a whole grain. These are best served the day they’re made.
Pumpkin Pie
There’s plenty to be thankful for in this classic holiday dessert, now updated with lots of health-promoting ingredients, less sugar, and no saturated fat or cholesterol. A slice of this robustly flavorful pie is rich in antioxidants, omega 3s, and phytonutrients, making it a perfect ending to a meal full of gratitude for good health and happiness. Want to take the stress out of your holiday dessert preparations? Make this pie two to three days in advance and store it in the refrigerator until needed.
