Ingredients:

• 1 package lemon gelatin
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• Additional fresh blueberries for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:

   • In a large bowl, combine lemon gelatin with 2 cups of boiling water, stirring constantly until completely dissolved, which should take about 2 minutes.

2. Incorporate Blueberries and Yogurt:

   • Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the fresh blueberries and the plain low-fat yogurt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3. Prepare the Cake Base:

   • Cut the cake into 14 (1/2-inch) slices, then further slice each piece into 3 × 1-inch rectangles.

4. Arrange Cake Slices:

   • Arrange the rectangles upright around the edge of an 8-inch springform pan, ensuring they fit snugly. Use the remaining pieces to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.

5. Fill with Blueberry-Yogurt Mixture:

   • Spoon the prepared blueberry-yogurt filling into the center of the cake-lined pan, spreading it evenly to cover the base.

6. Top with Blueberries:

   • Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries over the top of the filling, distributing them evenly for a burst of flavor in every bite.

7. Chill to Perfection:

   • Cover the pan and chill the dessert until it becomes firm, which typically takes around 2 hours.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once set, carefully remove the Charlotte from the springform pan. Serve it as is or elevate the experience with a drizzle of Blueberry Honey Sauce, if desired.

Blueberry Honey Sauce (Optional):

1. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a small saucepan, combine honey and ground ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously to ensure even blending.

2. Add Blueberries:

   • Stir in fresh blueberries and allow the mixture to return to a boil, infusing the sauce with the vibrant flavors of the fruit.

3. Finish with Lemon Juice:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in fresh lemon juice, adding a refreshing citrusy note to the sauce.

4. Blend to Smoothness:

   • Transfer the mixture to a blender container and whirl until smooth, achieving a velvety consistency that complements the Charlotte beautifully.

5. Serve with Versatility:

   • This versatile Blueberry Honey Sauce can be served alongside the Blueberry Lemon Charlotte or used as a delectable topping for a variety of cut-up fruits, enhancing their natural sweetness.

Indulge in the divine flavors of this Low-Fat Blueberry Lemon Charlotte, a dessert that proves you can savor every bite without compromising on health or taste. Enjoy the vibrant burst of blueberries, the zing of lemon, and the creamy goodness of yogurt in every heavenly mouthful!
