Enjoy the pleasure of cheesecake with far fewer calories and less fat. This lightened-up mousse is also delicious when it's made with fresh raspberries or fresh or frozen strawberries.
Use ripe but firm pears in this delectable, low-fat dessert. Quark is a tangy, low-fat, fresh cheese, but you can use low-fat cottage cheese or ricotta if you like. Dark-hued buckwheat honey adds a touch of molasses flavour, but you can substitute any other type of honey.
The most difficult part of this recipe is getting the kiwis all to the right stage - ripe, but not mushy. As kiwi is the key ingredient here, be sure to buy good quality ones, such as the Zespri brand from New Zealand. Nobody grows them quite like the Kiwis.
Oats, nuts, apples and pears make a very healthy combination, especially when sweetening is kept to a minimum.
