This recipe is a classic example of a dessert that’s just right for a lightened up diet and lifestyle. It’s not too sweet, and not too doughy. It also works well with other fruits, especially cherries. Noticeably absent are any added fats, and in this recipe they aren’t even missed. Of course a little dab of whipped cream or non-dairy topping can always be added for company or special occasions!
I call this the ‘half a cup’ recipe, because that’s how much you use of the first three ingredients. As a result, it’s easy to remember the ingredients even without digging out the recipe.
