Looking for a great light dessert?

THREE BERRY LEMON TRUFFLE



Last week we had a luncheon at my house and my good friend Jenny brought this very yummy dessert. If you like berries and lemon, you will love this! I am not even a strawberry fan and I loved it (I just took off the strawberries:-) It is reduced calorie and only has a 25 minute prep time. Enjoy!!



INGREDIENTS
1 (14 ounce) can fat free sweetened condensed milk
1 (8 ounce) carton non-fat reduced sugar lemon yogurt
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 (8 ounce) container reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 (16 ounce) package angel food cake mix, prepared and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted



DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, lemon juice and peel. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
In a 3-qt. trifle bowl or deep salad bowl, layer a third of the cake cubes, a third of the lemon mixture and all of the strawberries. Repeat cake and lemon mixture layers. Top with blueberries and remaining cake cubes and lemon mixture. Sprinkle with raspberries.
Spread remaining whipped topping over berries; sprinkle with almonds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
