Fiber-filled, antioxidant-rich blueberries make for a super-healthy dessert. Using low-fat cream cheese and yogurt keeps the calorie count down yet yields a tender dough.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ounces (1/4 cup) low-fat cream cheese, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, diced
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk
2 1/2 cups blueberries
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the cream cheese and butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles small peas. Mix in the yogurt.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface a couple of times. Gently pat into a disk. Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Gently press into a 10-inch round.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the dough. Top the dough with the berries, pressing them down in a single layer to within 1/2 inch of the border. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar on top.

Bake for 20 minutes, until crust is golden. Let cool for 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar; cut into wedges.
