Today was day 12 of cooking from THE BEST OF COOKING LIGHT and I just went with a dessert tonight. The dish today was a blueberry crisp recipe, but I made a triple berry crisp recipe instead. Here's our thoughts on this recipe...
BLUEBERRY CRISP a la MODE... EXCELLENT (one of our favorites)!!!!!!
I think this is my favorite recipe that I've made so far. After doing a number of recipes in this cookbook exactly as directed, there's been a lot of them that I would have tweaked on or changed slightly, so I decided today I'm just going to take the recipes from the cookbook and tweak on them and change them up a little to suit our family and our likes or dislikes. So, with that in mind, I decided to not just do "blueberries, but make it a triple berry crisp. I used blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, and it was absolutely delicious! I'm sure it would have been just as good with just blueberries, but I happened to have the three berries on hand so used them, and I'm glad I did.
The other thing I tweaked on was that it was supposed to be baked in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. I put it in three small pie dishes, which serve 2 each. I thought the portions were perfect. My hubby and I split one, and my daughter and son-in-law split one, and we have an extra one for tomorrow.
Also, the recipe calls for low fat frozen yogurt to put on top. I had vanilla ice cream on hand and just used that instead. I know it's not "light", but just wanted to use what I had. Not sure that it ended up being a "light" version of the crisp since I didn't use yogurt, but it sure was worth every calorie! I will definitely keep this recipe and make it again, and will probably make it for my Bed and Breakfast guests as their dessert course sometime.
