Strawberry Fool (Light)

justcallmetoni's Note:

A traditional Fool is made with generous amounts whipped heavy cream with fruit gently folded in. This lighter alternative uses sour cream and yogurt and originated in Cooking Light. I have adapted it a bit to my own tastes and preferences.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 cups strawberries, sliced
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
• 1 pint plain nonfat yogurt
• 3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (use the clear kind if you have it)

Directions:

1. Combine strawberries and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cover and chill 2 hours.
2. Combine brown sugar, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract and yogurt and sour cream in a blender. Blend for a minute or two so that the sugars are blended in and you have incorporated a bit of air in the dairy mix. (i've also done this with an immersion blender.) Turn out into a covered bowl and chill for 2 hours.
3. Just before serving, gently fold the strawberry mixture into the yogurt mixture until swirled.
