This light, fluffy dessert can be made with any dried fruits instead of apricots - try dried peaches, prunes or apples.
ingredients
serves 4
1 1/2 cups ready-to-eat dried apricots
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice
7/8 cup low fat fromage frais
2 egg whites mint
sprigs, to decorate
method
1. Place the apricots in a saucepan with the orange juice and heat gently until boiling. Cover and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
2. Cool slightly. Place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Stir in the fromage frais.
3. Whisk the egg whites until stiff enough to hold soft peaks, then fold into the apricot mixture.
4. Spoon into four stemmed glasses or one large serving dish. Chill before serving.

To make a speedier fool-type dish, omit the egg whites and simply swirl together the apricot mixture and fromage frais.
