This is a super healthy variation of Fool which I enjoyed at a friend's home recently. Very easy and tastes wonderful...enjoy(cooking time is chilling time) Ingredients:
3 cups strawberries, hulled and chopped |
1 tablespoon natural cane sugar |
1 1/2 cups plain 2% greek yogurt |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (or more) |
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Place strawberries in a medium sized bowl. Sprinkle with sugar; allow to sit, tossing occasionally, until juices are released and sugar dissolved, about 30 minutes.
2. Using a potato masher, gently mash strawberries until you have a pulpy puree. It is best NOT to use a blender or food processor because it will liquefy the berries.
3. In a large bowl stir together yoghurt, honey, almond extract and lemon zest. Gently fold in the strawberry puree.
4. Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Serve in dessert bowls garnished with slivered almonds.
5. Raspberries can be substituted or use your imagination.
