Fruit de light

Fruit de light as its name suggests, is a light fresh mousse like dessert.  It can be made the day before allowing the flavours to settle, or it is a breeze to make on the day provided there is enough time for it to set.  This is a dessert I used to make for mum rather than it being one of mum's recipes.  However she gave me the following tip to create the variations.

 MUM'S TIPS:

1. Replace apricots with any fruit you like, either fresh or canned, match up the colour of fruit with jelly and yogurt keeping the same quantities as with the apricot recipe

SERVES 4

I sachet diet orange jelly crystals
200mls boiling water.
I cup apricot halves in natural juice drained
1 tub 200ml Nestle Diet peach yogurt.

DIRECTIONS
  1. Dissolve jelly crystals in 200 mls boiling water.
  2. Pour into food processor/blender with apricots and puree together.
  3. Add in yogurt, blend until mixed.
  4. Pour into dishes and chill until set.
