Heart Healthy Recipe
No one will know this decadent dessert recipe-rich chocolate shortcake filled with a fresh raspberry sauce-has less than 150 calories per serving. It's romantic, delicious and low calorie.

Ingredients

  • Shortcakes

    • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
    • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
    • 3/4 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp baking soda
    • 1/8 tsp salt
    • 2 Tbsp cold reduced-calorie, trans fat free margarine, cut into bits
    • 1/4 cup skim evaporated milk
  • Raspberry Sauce and Topping

    • 1 1/2 cups raspberries
    • 1 tsp granulated sugar
    • 3 Tbsp low-fat vanilla yogurt
    • 1/4 tsp confectioners sugar
    • Mint sprigs, for garnish

Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 425°. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
    • Into a bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add margarine, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
    • Add evaporated milk and stir mixture with a fork until it forms a dough.
    • Divide the dough in half, arrange each half in a mound on baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centers comes out with crumbs clinging to it.
    • Transfer the shortcakes to a rack and let them cool.
    • In a bowl, mash 3/4 cup of the raspberries with a fork. Add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
    • Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup raspberries. Cut the shortcakes in half horizontally. Top each bottom half with half the raspberry mixture and 1 1/2 tablespoons yogurt.
    • Top with the top half of a shortcake. Sprinkle shortcakes with confectioners sugar and garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
