How to Make Mixed Berry Fool Reduced Calorie

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup raspberries, 1 cup blackberries, 1 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce heat to medium-high and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices.
  3. Carefully transfer the fruit mixture to a food processor or blender. Puree until completely smooth.
  4. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds. Pour the strained puree into a shallow dish and freeze for approximately 50 minutes, or until very cold and slightly thickened.
  5. In a medium-sized bowl, gently fold 1 cup of thawed whipped topping (such as Cool Whip Lite) with 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chilled berry puree until evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
  7. Serve immediately in individual glasses or bowls.
  8. Garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of granola, or a sprig of mint, if desired.
