Are you ‘sweet on’ someone who’s counting calories? Show them you care with this light and refreshing dessert. It’s sinfully creamy and so pretty with the tart raspberry sauce. No one would ever guess that it’s fat-free! —Judi Janczewski, Berwyn, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fat-free whipped topping
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries or sliced strawberries, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Add sugar; heat and stir over low heat until gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. Transfer to a bowl; whisk in sour cream and vanilla. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
  2. Fold in whipped topping. Pour into a 4-cup mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate, covered, until firm, about 4 hours.
  3. For sauce, drain berries, reserving syrup. Add enough water to the syrup to measure 3/4 cup. In a small saucepan, mix cornstarch, sugar and syrup mixture until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Stir in drained berries; refrigerate until serving.
  4. To serve, unmold dessert onto a serving plate. Serve with sauce.
