- Place the vanilla yogurt in a sieve lined with a damp paper towel. Set the sieve over a bowl, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour. This will allow most of the whey (liquid) to drain into the bowl and leave the yogurt in a more cheese like form.
- Place the reduced-fat cream cheese in another bowl and break it up into pieces. Add the vanilla yogurt and blend well either by hand with a whisk or by using an electric blender until creamy and smooth. Add the lime zest and blueberry reduction sauce and continue to blend until light and creamy smooth.
- We suggest layering the blueberries in 4 wine glasses, short water glasses, or glass bowls for a more visually enticing dessert. Make the first layer blueberries, second the whipped yogurt, third layer blueberries, and last layer the remaining whipped yogurt and serve.
- This dessert can be made the day before, covered and refrigerated in either as a completed and plated dish or can be combined just before serving if desired.
