Poached feijoa low-fat fool

For this fool I’ve tried to be healthy. I am training for a bike race/fun ride from Taupo to Rotorua, so it’s quite nice to have the occasional treat to work towards. We have a small feijoa tree in the corner of our garden which produced a bumper crop last year; the kids and I love them. For me, the arrival of the feijoa is nature’s way of letting us know autumn is really here. They have a unique perfume and when perfectly ripe, the most delicious balance of sweetness and acidity.

Ingredients

4 Tbsp	Sugar
½ cup	Water
2 cups	Feijoas, scooped out (Main)
250 g	Probiotic vanilla yoghurt
250 g	Light sour cream
1 block	White chocolate

Directions

1. Boil sugar and water in a pot then add feijoas, simmer gently for 3 minutes. Allow to cool, then chill.
2. Strain the feijoas then puree three quarters of the fruit and mix with yoghurt and sour cream.
3. Spoon into individual serving glasses or dishes, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge until needed.
4. To serve, spoon the remaining feijoas on top and drizzle with a little of the cooking juices. Serve with grated white chocolate, optional, of course.
