Fresh Berry Gratin

Fresh Berry Gratin


4 servings

A nearly effortless way to enhance fresh berries. The aroma of the warm fruit is sublime.

Ingredients:

3 cups fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries and/or blackberries)
4 oz. low-fat cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp. skim milk
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

Instructions

Place berries in an even layer in a 9-inch pie plate or divide among 4 individual gratin dishes. In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, milk and lemon juice. Spread over the berries, leaving the outer edge uncovered. Set aside in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.

Preheat the broiler. Press sugar through a coarse sieve over the berries, covering them evenly. Broil until the sugar has melted, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
