Weight Watchers Easy Recipe: Skinny Lemon Triple Berry Fool
A traditional fruit fool is one of the simplest desserts ever. All you need to do is gently swirl together pureed lightly sweetened fruit and whipped cream.
And since either fresh or frozen fruit will work, you can make them any time you want a quick and easy no-cook dessert.
Skinny Lemon Triple Berry Fool
This skinny lemon triple berry fool is based on a recipe I saw in one of my favorite cookbooks of the year, 5 Easy Steps to Healthy Cooking: 500 Recipes for Lifelong Wellness (affiliate link), by Camilla Saulsbury.
It swaps out the whipped cream for thick and luscious, non-fat plain Greek yogurt.
Skinny on Lemon Triple Berry Fool
I used a combination of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries I had in the freezer with nice results.
But feel free to experiment with other berries and/or or juicy fruits. And use whatever citrus juice/zest you think would work best.
You can also turn this into the British dessert, Eton Mess, by adding some crushed meringues.
We found this skinny lemon triple berry fool light and refreshing, but next time I'm going to skip the optional mint.
You may also need a little extra agave/sweetener if you're not in love with the tanginess of plain Greek yogurt.
