When leading ladies such as Christina Applegate and Kate Hudson crave a facial followed by some light fare, they venture to this day-spa-cum-café. Kinara's menu is slightly more indulgent than standard spa cuisine, featuring a cheese plate, steak, Champagne, and dessert. Of course, this treat does more than satisfy your sweet tooth all the fruit in it made the USDA's list of the top 20 antioxidant-rich foods. Ingredients:
1 pint strawberries, hulled and diced |
1/2 pint blueberries |
1/2 pint blackberries, halved |
1/2 pint raspberries |
1/2 cup plus 2/3 cup sugar |
1 package powdered gelatin |
1 pint nonfat half-and-half |
2 vanilla beans (or 2 tsp vanilla extract) |
1 1/2 cups lowfat milk |
1/2 cup whipped cream |
mint sprigs |
Directions:
1. Divide each berry portion in half. In a small saucepan, stir together half the berries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 cups water. On a medium-low flame, reduce to a thick consistency, about 1 hour. Strain and chill. Dissolve gelatin in 2 tbsp warm water for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring; set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half and 2/3 cup sugar. Cut vanilla beans in half; using a paring knife, scrape seeds from inside beans into saucepan; add beans. Slowly bring mixture to a boil. Whisk in milk and gelatin; strain beans and extra gelatin. Cool slightly; pour into 8 glasses; chill until set, about 8 hours. Top with 2 or 3 tbsp berry juice, remaining berries, whipped cream, and a sprig of mint.
