Week one came up on us pretty fast & we rushed to pick the first dish of the New Year. The left over cream cheese from holiday’s helped on the pick & also I knew I would be craving sweets by the end of week because you know we all diet the first 4 days of the New Year. As I was looking at the picture from the bestseller ~Mayo Clinic Diet book (page 245) I thought it looked simple, elegant and I knew it was healthy.
Blueberry & Lemon Cream Parfait
6 oz. low-fat vanilla yogurt
4 oz. fat-free cream cheese
1 tsp. honey
2 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest
3 c. fresh blueberries, rinsed & drained well
Drain liquid from the yogurt. In medium bowl, combine the yogurt, cream cheese & honey. Use electric mixer at high speed until mixture is light & creamy.
Stir lemon zest into mixture. Layer the lemon crème & blueberries in dessert dishes.
Serve at once or cover & refrigerate until needed.
Tupps Tidbits ~ let cream cheese set out a few minutes……what do I use the rest of the lemon for?
We decided, definitely a KEEPER but better made/served when fresh fruit is in season.
When we pick black raspberries from the back yard this summer it will be made again.
Next week ~ Dragon Fire Chicken
