This fruit fool recipe replaces the usual whipped double cream with a mixture of low-fat yogurt and whipping cream, yet still tastes creamy at 230 calories per serving. ( A Danish pastry has around 520 calories.)
Ingredients (serves 4)
• 300 grams mixed soft fruit such as raspberries or blueberries, or sliced strawberries
• 55 grams caster sugar
• 150ml whipping cream
• grated zest of half an orange
• 150 grams plain, low-fat bio yogurt
• finely shredded orange zest to decorate
Reserve 55 grams of fruit for decoration. Put remaining fruit in a pan with 2 tbsp water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the sugar. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly. Pour into a food processor or blender and puree. Sieve to remove any pips if required. Set aside to cool completely.
Whip the cream with the grated orange zest until thick. Add the yogurt and lightly whip into the cream. Mix in the cold fruit puree. Spoon into dessert glasses and chill well before serving, decorated with reserved berries and orange zest.
