Can't rate this recipe which sounds very appealing, especially the topping. Unfortunately the amount of baking soda has been omitted. Now that I have the baking soda amount this is a very good low fat dessert. So glad you submitted it. Going to a barbecue in a couple of weeks and have to bring something yummy and low fat so this fits the bill.

I agree, the amount of baking soda is missing, but being the adventuresome person that I am, I added 1/2 tsp. to the recipe. It turned out very good. I didn't have any orange juice so added a tsp. of orange essence. I also cut the flour in half and used 1/2 cup ground almond meal and sub'd the sugar for a natural sweetener, as I'm doing low carb. I used soy milk and margarine instead of dairy. I did use some plain goat yogurt which is quite tasty, and added 2 tsp. of vanilla essence as I didn't have the vanilla yogurt. I used a mix of frozen berries in this as well. I didn't have the tapioca so used kudzu and added an extra tsp. then what was called for with the tapioca as there was quite a bit of liquid in this and I wanted to include it. All in all this was very very good. This is the second time I've made this and will no doubt make it again.
