Ingredients

    1/2 cup low-fat (1%) milk
    2 tablespoons fat-free dry milk
    1 package (12 ounces) frozen blueberries, thawed
    1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup nonfat yogurt, divided
    1/2 packet unflavored gelatin
    2 tablespoons cold water
    1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

1. Combine milk and dry milk in a small bowl and whisk until well blended. Place in freezer 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, combine frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and the salt in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until sugar has dissolved, berries have broken up, and mixture has reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Let stand until cooled to room temperature. Stir in 1/3 cup yogurt.

3. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a heatproof measuring cup. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Set measuring cup in a small saucepan of simmering water and heat until gelatin has melted, about 2 minutes. Let stand until cooled to room temperature.

4. With a hand mixer, beat chilled milk until thick and soft peaks form. Add remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and beat to stiff peaks. Beat in gelatin mixture. Fold milk mixture into blueberry mixture.

5. Spoon into 4 dessert bowls or glasses. Chill until set, about 2 hours. At serving time, top each with a dollop of remaining yogurt and the fresh blueberries. One serving equals 1 dessert bowl or glass.

    My family really enjoyed this one. I served it with a couple of slices of fresh mango--which looked really colorful. I thought next time I might try using the whole pack of gelatin. - 2/18/08

    This sounds delicious but I'm confused about the nutritional info. What's on the recipe doesn't match up with the information box. I suppose I could use Splenda to reduce the carbs? - 2/10/09
