Blending vanilla yogurt and reduced-fat cream cheese creates a topping that's as virtuous as it is delicious. Any fresh berry can be used in this recipe.

This was SOOO good and so easy. I used plain yogurt so I sweetened it with a little maple syrup and some vanilla before using it in the recipe. I served the cream with a mixture of fresh blueberries strawberries and peaches. It was a big hit! Penelope Burlington VT Read More

I think the recipe itself was very good but the products I used didn't work the best. I would be careful using organic yogurt as it was a little too liquidy. Next time I will try the lemon yogurt like other suggested. A good low fat option to ice cream and a delicious treat on a summer evening. Read More

I changed it up a little by adding ginger snap crumbs in the bottom and again before the second layer. Right before serving, I added a very light dusting of the crumbs. Very tasty - my guests loved this! Read More

I thought this recipe is a good low calorie dessert recipe. My granddaughter loved it. I used full fat cream cheese instead of the low fat because that is what I had in the fridge. I also used frozen blueberries. I will definitely make this recipe again. Read More

I too used lemon yogurt....this was good and light. I mixed strawberries raspberries and blueberries....delicious! I didn't have any blending problems-I let the cream cheese soften a bit before blending it. I served it over shortcake for my father-in-law. Read More

This was excellent. I've made it several times and tried using orange peel the last time. It's even better than with the lemon peel. This is a great light dessert on those hot summer nights. chef liz San Antonio TX Read More
