BLUEBERRIES AND CREAM
Nigella Lawson called this "the ultimate in a no-cook dessert": nothing more than Greek or whole-milk yogurt and heavy cream combined in a bowl and given a thick sprinkled covering of soft brown sugar, light or dark as you wish. It's a dish her grandmother made, calling it Barbados cream (presumably because the sugar she used came from Barbados). After combining the yogurt, cream and sugar, you wrap the bowl in plastic and put it in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours to let the sugar turn into a dark bronze liquid, slowly seeping into the cream and yogurt. It tastes like a light, uncrunched crème brûlée. When you are ready to eat it, take the cream-yogurt mixture to the table with another bowl filled with blueberries. And then sit down and feel quietly pleased with yourself: you have made a lovely summer dessert and have not so much as broken a sweat.

BERRY YOGURT CRUNCH
Yogurt, fresh berries, and a surprise ingredient give this dish a somewhat cheesecake-like flavor but with a fraction of the fat and calories. Let the berry-yogurt mixture chill awhile so flavors mingle and mellow. Make a flavor change by substituting instant white chocolate pudding mix. I've served this for dessert, but it's good as a breakfast treat, too!
