Recipe - Cream Of Raspberries And Yogurt

2 pt Ripe raspberries (4 cups)
Three fourths cup Plain yogurt
One fourth cup Sugar
4 Sprigs mint or peppermint

This creamy fruit dessert looks much richer than it is. The berries are
emulsified with the yogurt to create a smooth, richlooking but relatively
lowcalorie cream.

1. Place about one third of the berries, including any that are less
perfect (damaged, wilted, or soft) in the bowl of a food processor with the
yogurt and sugar. Process until very smooth. (There will still be small
seeds in the mixture; push the puree through a sieve or food mill fitted
with a fine screen.) [Note, you could probably substitute frozen
raspberries, thawed and drained well, for the ones that you puree.]

2. Combine the remaining berries with the raspberryyogurt sauce, and
refrigerate until serving time (as long as 5 to 6 hours.) Divide among four
dessert dishes, and serve, garnished with mint or peppermint. Variation: Do
not combine the berries and sauce in step 2. At serving time, divide the
sauce among four dessert plates, and mound the berries in the center. Top
each serving with a sprig of mint or peppermint, and serve.
