125g approx. punnet of fresh raspberries
1 teaspoon golden caster sugar
½ of 200g tub half-fat crème fraiche
75g low fat Greek yogurt
2 small meringue shells broken into large pieces
 
Method
 
1.In a small bowl stir the sugar into the raspberries crushing them slightly as you stir, but still leave them more or less whole.
 
2.In a separate bowl, fold the crème fraiche and yogurt together with the remaining sugar and meringue pieces.
 
3.Divide the raspberries among two glasses, top with the creamy mixture. Serve.
 
Blackberries can be used instead of raspberries or when out of season, use defrosted frozen berries. This dessert looks very attractive served in large wine glasses and decorated with a sprig of mint for a special occasion.
