Makes 6 Servings (1 wedge per serving)

1. Gently toss together the raspberries, blackberries, mint, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and 2 teaspoons of the lime juice in a large bowl; set aside. 
2. Combine the strawberries and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a blender or food processor and puree. 
3. Place a wedge of cake on each of 6 plates. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the strawberry sauce around each wedge and top with about 2/3 cup of the berry mixture. 

WW POINTS VALUE: 5 pts. 

Note: This recipe appears in the WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. This is a wonderful sweet ending after a filling meal. The combination of angel food cake and mixed berries is quite refreshing. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of granulated sugar but you can cut the sugar in half and the berry mixture and sauce still tastes just as delicious.

WW POINTS VALUE: 4 pts (3 tbsp fondue with 3/4 cup cake and 2 strawberries)

Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. This is an easy and elegant dessert that features fresh fruit and fat-free angel food cake. The orginal recipe in the cookbook called for whole milk but skim milk will work just as well. You can also substitute bittersweet chocolate for the semisweet chocolate as well. I added the ground cinnamon for a pinch of Mexican flavor and it is delicious. You can serve other fruits with this fondue such as apples, bananas, pitted cherries, grapes, orange slices, etc. This fondue will also give you your chocolate fix when you need it.
