This beautiful-looking dessert is so fresh and delicious, and you'll the fact that it comes together in less than half an hour. It's lightened thanks to using applesauce and Splenda for the sweeteners. The vanilla nonfat yogurt provides the finishing touch.

It really doesn't get much more convenient than that!
