Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pints blueberries
- 1/3 cup honey, plus more if desired
- Juice of half a lime
- 5 fresh mint leaves plus 4 sprigs for garnish
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
- 4 teaspoons finely chopped pistachios
Directions
-
In a blender, combine 1 pint of blueberries, honey, lime juice, and 5 mint leaves; puree. Press mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove skin and seeds. Discard skin and seeds. Taste and add more honey if desired. Transfer to a container, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cold, about 10 minutes.
-
With an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks. Fold the cream into the yogurt.
-
Using a light hand, fold the blueberry puree into the yogurt mixture about three quarters of the way, leaving a swirly pattern of dark purple streaks through the white yogurt mixture.
-
Spoon into 4 glasses and chill. To serve, sprinkle with pistachios, and garnish with remaining blueberries and mint sprigs.
using 2% or non fat greek yogurt would cut the fat a bit.
It might be the heavy cream and whole milk yogurt. It might be ok as an occasional treat though.
Greek yogurt
Wow! 15g of fat seems like a lot! Is that really a healthy dessert?
