“Better Than Duncan James” Dessert

"Better Than Duncan James” Dessert 

This make-ahead frozen dessert consists of five delicious layers not counting the pretzel and chocolate garnish. When cut into squares, note the broken-pretzel crust, the dark chocolate filling, the raspberry-blueberry compote, the mango mousse, and the creamy whipped topping.

• 1 cup coarsely broken pretzels (Fat free tiny twists)

• ¼ cup orange juice

Directions

Filling:

In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in berries and 1 tablespoon water and heat over medium heat. Cook stirring for 9 to 10 minutes, until thickened, bubbly and most of the berries have popped. Break up remaining berries with a spoon. Remove from heat; cool. 

Crust:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 13x9x2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

With fingers break apart the small pretzels into about ½ inch pieces into a measuring cup. Dump into a medium-size bowl, mix well with flour and margarine using wet fingers. Pat into prepared dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Until it starts to turn a nice tan. Cool completely before assembling desert.

Dark Chocolate layer:

2 boxes of Dark Chocolate Pudding and Pie filling in large bowl, add 3 cups skim milk and beat with a whisk for a full minute. Pour over crust and chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.

Spoon on a layer of the cold berry compote.

Mango Mousse:

Put drained chopped mangoes, orange and lemon juices, sugar, and salt in food processor. Process until mixture is smooth. Combine mango puree with drained tofu and vanilla in a mixer bowl. Using an electric mixer beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Fold in the one container of thawed whipped topping with electric mixer on lowest speed. Whipping will just reduce this topping so take it easy. Then spread layer of mango mousse.

Spoon on 2nd container of whipped topping. Sprinkle with broken pretzels. Hold choloate bar by the side and shave curls off with a vegetable peeler over the top. Freeze at least 2 hours or overnight. Cut into squares.

This is truly a modern update of an old desert. New tastes, and very low fat. In fact, looking over the list of ingredients, the only fat is in the margarine substitute and a trace in the Dark Chocolate Pie filling. That is it!

And slave admits that it does not remember Robert Redford ever looking as good as Duncan James! Master said that He was going to share this with the artist himself! (pant-pant)
