Sweet Blueberry Fool (Phase 2)

Sweet Blueberry Fool (Phase 2)
Description
We’ve lightened this classic English dessert, traditionally made with whipped cream, by substituting thick Greek nonfat yogurt. It’s meant to be served with streaks of white cream swirled through the pureed fruit.
Serves 4
 
Ingredients
1 pint fresh blueberries, plus extra for garnish, or 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen blueberries (not thawed)
3 tablespoons granular sugar substitute
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt
1/2 cup light or fat-free whipped topping
4 mint sprigs, for garnish

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar substitute, juice, and 2 tablespoons water. Place pan over medium heat and cook 10 minutes, or until berries are soft, stirring often. Press mixture through a fine strainer to remove skin. Transfer to a container; cover and refrigerate until cooled, about 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine yogurt and whipped topping. Gently fold in blueberry puree, leaving a swirly pattern of purple streaks in the cream. Spoon into 4 dessert glasses and chill. Serve with mint sprigs for garnish.
