One of my all-time favorites, this is one is easy on the diet. You can top this homey dessert with green grapes and orange slices for a pretty presentation. You can also use the lemon sauce over angel food cake or your favorite frozen yogurt. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups reduced-fat milk (2%) |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca |
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
3/4 cup water |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
4 thin lemon slices |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. Whisk milk, sugar, tapioca, and lemon peel in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Cover and chill until cold, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.
2. To make sauce, whisk sugar and cornstarch in small saucepan to blend. Add 3/4 cup water. Whisk over medium-high heat until mixture thickens and boils, about 2 minutes.
