I used lemon yogurt. Tastes like blueberry cheesecake.

This was SOOO good and so easy. I used plain yogurt, so I sweetened it with a little maple syrup and some vanilla before using it in the recipe. I served the cream with a mixture of fresh blueberries, strawberries and peaches. It was a big hit!

This is sooooooo good and sooooooo easy. I took the suggestion and used lemon yogurt. A wonderful low-cal way to enjoy to enjoy fresh summer blueberries.
