Dieter's Fruited Yogurt Brulee

Submitted by Crafty Lady 13

"When baked, this low-fat, fruit-filled dessert forms a crisp brown sugar crust. Serve it all year long with whatever fruits are in season. Some great fruit choices would be: blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, nectarines, peaches, pears, bananas, mango, papaya, and pineapple chunks. I found this in my Better Homes and Gardens New Dieter's Cookbook."

If you can get the brulee crust on these, they are 5 star. Like Boomette, I used turbinado sugar and a torch. The butane ran out though and I had to use the oven for some of them. For those, I could not get it to actually get crisp, which is what is so delicious about these. I liked the blackberries and strawberries the best. The raspberries were my least favorite. Generous portions.

I tried to find part-skim ricotta but couldn't. So I guess the one I bought was full fat LOL But I used fat free plain yogurt and added maybe 1 tsp of vanilla extract. The fresh fruit I used was blueberries and blackberries. To brown the sugar, I used demerara brown sugar. And no oven. I used my creme brulee torch. With this, it's easier and faster to have the result of brulee. It's so yummy. Thanks Crafty Lady. Made for Bevy tag.

One of the best desserts I've had in a while. I used strawberries. My dishes were very small so I ended up with leftover filling. It was so good. We dipped whole strawberries in it, yum. Made for Bevy Tag.

I am not sure this turned out the way it was suppose to. The brown sugar didn't crust and I cooked it for about 15 minutes. However, the flavors were absolutly great. I used kiwi and bananas for my fruit. I also used individual ramekins. What a great yummy dessert! Thanks Crafty. Made for bevytag 2009.
