Ingredients

  • 3 large Anjou pears, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (6-ounce) container vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups low-fat granola
  • 1/2 cup fat-free caramel ice-cream topping

Method

  • Place pears and cranberries in a large bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice, and gently toss.
  • Beat cream cheese in a large bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add yogurt and cinnamon, beating at low speed until blended. Fold half of cream cheese mixture into pear mixture.
  • Layer half each of pear mixture and granola in a large serving bowl. Spread remaining half of cream cheese mixture on top; drizzle with half of caramel. Repeat layers, omitting cream cheese layer. Serve immediately, or chill 2 hours, if desired.
