An attractive dessert for special occasions,
the green kiwifruit and red cranberries make it ideal for the
holidays.
Kiwi Cranberry Fool
- 3/4 cup low fat sour cream
- 3 tablespoons confectioner’s (powder)
sugar
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons confectioner’s (powder)
sugar
- 1 1/2 California kiwifruit, peeled and
mashed with a fork
- 1 tablespoon confectioner’s (powder)
sugar
- 2 fresh mint sprigs
- 2 clear 8-ounce wine glasses
- In a small bowl, blend the sour cream
with the 3 tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar. Reserve.
- Place the cranberries in a small saucepan
with the orange juice and 2 tablespoons of confectioner’s
sugar. Gently cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or
until the cranberries swell and the liquid thickens and reduces.
Stir in the orange zest. Reserve, allowing to cool completely.
Mix the kiwi puree with the tablespoon of confectioner’s
sugar. Reserve.
- Divide the sour cream mixture equally
into three small bowls. Remove 2 tablespoons of each of the cranberry
sauce and kiwi puree and reserve. Place the remaining cranberry
sauce in one bowl of sour cream and blend. Place the remaining
kiwi puree in another bowl of sour cream and blend well.
- Divide the cranberry-sour cream mixture
between the two wine glasses. Cover each with 2 tablespoons of
the reserved kiwi puree.
- Place half the sour cream-confectioner’s
sugar mixture on top of the layer of kiwi puree in each glass.
Cover these layers with 2 tablespoons of the cranberry sauce
and then the kiwi-sour cream mixture. Refrigerate until ready
to serve. Garnish with a mint sprig.
Makes 2 servings.
