    There is a great book (and it used to be a TV show on lifetime) called "Cook yourself thin". It does just this with deserts with really crazy swaps (like beets) but it tastes delicious. The book/show also does this with other bad for your favorites like mac and cheese, pasta dishes, etc. and brings the calories down without sacrificing taste.

    check it out! http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/cook-yourself-thin. most of the recipes are online.
