Summer Trifle



***Susan's Note: I couldn't find this recipe online, so I retyped it below. It's from Weight Watchers Magazine, July/August 2010. I used Butterfly Bakery Sugar Free Angel Food Cake from Wegmans, which reduces the calories even more, but you couldn't tell! This was a delicious summer dessert. Take advantage of your summer fruit by making this trifle that my whole family enjoyed. We even had Cool Whip Lite for a topping, but it didn't need it! Yum.***

Serves 6
Prep 25 min

Ingredients
4 large ripe nectarines, pitted and diced
3 T sugar
3/4 c part skim ricotta cheese
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 6 oz wedge angel food cake, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
3 T light honey (I used dark)
1 6 oz container fresh raspberries (I used more!)
1/2 c. fresh blueberries

1. Combine nectarines and sugar in medium bowl; toss to coat. Let stand until juice is released, about 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, mix ricotta and lemon zest in small bowl.

3. Place half of cake cubes in tall glass serving dish or clear bowl; top with half of nectarines and juice. Spoon 6 Tbsp ricotta mixture over nectarines, then drizzle with 1 Tbsp honey. Repeat with remaining cake, nectarines, and ricotta mixture. Drizzle top with 1 Tbsp honey. Sprinkle trifle with raspberries and blueberries; drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp honey.
