Servings: persons

1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons (1 envelope) powdered gelatin
1 1/2 cups plain non-fat yogurt
1 (15-ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup light brown sugar

1
Pour 1/2 cup of the orange juice into a small pot and heat over medium flame until hot; remove from heat.
2
Sprinkle the gelatin on top of the hot orange juice, give it a stir, and let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
3
Combine the yogurt, ricotta, vanilla, brown sugar, orange zest, and the gelatin mixture in a food processor and process until smooth, thick, and custard-like.
4
Put the angel food cake in a trifle bowl and push it down so it sits on the bottom.
5
Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of orange juice over the cake to moisten.
6
Spoon the yogurt custard over the cake to cover.
7
Chill in the refrigerator to set up.
8
To make the blueberry compote: Combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat.

10
Set aside to cool.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
