Blueberry-lemon crisp
10 to 12 servings
Ingredients
Crust
2 cups crushed gingersnaps
½ cup finely chopped pecans
⅓ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Filling
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
½ cup orange juice
1 pint Maine wild blueberries
2 packages (8 ounces each) light cream cheese
1 container (8 ounces) low-fat blueberry yogurt
1 container (8 ounces) low-fat lemon yogurt
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Topping
1 cup whipping cream
4 to 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
grated lemon rind for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
To make the crust, in a medium-size bowl, combine the gingersnaps, pecans, butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar, mixing well with a fork.
Pat evenly into a 10-inch springform pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
To make the filling, in a small saucepan over low heat, dissolve the gelatin in the orange juice, stirring until completely dissolved. Rinse the blueberries, drain, and set aside. Reserve ½ cup for garnish.
In a medium-size bowl, blend the cream cheese, blueberry and lemon yogurts, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. With the electric mixer running at low speed, slowly add the orange juice-gelatin mixture. Mix at medium speed for about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the blueberries by hand.
Pour into the pre-pared crust and chill for several hours until set.
To make the topping, in a small bowl, whip the cream until stiff and slowly blend in the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice.
To serve, gently run a knife around the rim of the springform pan. Remove the outside form and transfer the wisp to a serving plate.
Using a pastry bag, pipe the whipped cream around the base and top of the cake. Garnish with the reserved blueberries and grated lemon rind.
