Joining the seemingly endless passing parade of cute little desserts is the latest contender:  Yoplait Delights Partfait Lowfat Yogurt.  The eager consumer is presented with a four pack of 4 oz. plastic cups each about two thirds full of one kind of dessert yogurt topped with another third of some other variety.  This dessert product comes in four flavors:  Chocolate Raspberry, Triple Berry Creme, Creme Caramel and Lemon Torte.  For my maiden voyage, I chose Chocolate Raspberry ... a combination of two thirds chocolate topped with one third raspberry yogurt.

There is really nothing wrong with this lovely little sincere dessert but somehow it just fell a bit flat for me.  I didn't think the flavors were pronounced enough -- that the chocolate should have tasted more chocolatey and the raspberry more like ... well, you get the idea.  I would expect that children would love Yoplait Delights because of the smooth mildness and the neat little cup sizes.  As for myself, I think that Yoplait Delights are a sweet little interlude but nothing dramatic enough to stop the show.  Even though they  may not bring down the curtain and take an encore, they aren't a bad choice for dessert.

STATS:

The contents of each 4 oz. cup is a single serving containing 100 calories with 10 calories from fat.  There are 1.5 grams Total Fat, 1 gram Saturated Fat, zero Trans Fat, 5 mg. Cholesterol, 90 mg. Sodium, 200 mg. Potassium, 18 grams Total Carbs, 13 grams Sugars, and 5 grams Protein.   Included in the mix are 10% (D.V.) each Vitamin A and Phosphorus and 15% each Calcium and Vitamin D. 

TASTE TIP:

Even though they may be a bit lacking in drama, I think I will try the other flavors of Yoplait Delights Parfaits.  It took a bit of care but I squirted on a dab of light whipped cream which seemed to enhance the delicate yogurt flavors.

To further amplify, just because I felt the flavors were a little understated and not quite as dramatic as I would have liked, that doesn't mean that it wasn't a good product. Various tastes differ and even for me this was pleasant and I enjoyed it. That I might have been a little disappointed doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Many people prefer milder flavors and I think this product will be popular.

No, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. The light whipped cream was just an extra touch, it tastes fine without it.

If you have to add whip cream to make it taste good - why bother?

Thanks for this review. I've been wanting to try this product and your review just peaked my interest even further. I will try it. I was worried it wouldn't be that good. I'm always looking for a low-fat, low-cal sweet treat and this just might be it.

A dab of whipped cream on top is just the right finishing touch!

Great review. I love the drama theme. Usually at my house I can pass off any dessert to the the kids that doesn't warrant an encore with me;)

That's cute, Fardreamer. I don't know -- let's just say a LITTLE more dramatic, maybe!

I have been wanting to try the Lemon flavor. I love lemon desserts! Thanks for sharing!

Cool review. Only...how does a yogurt get dramatic? ;-) I love yogurt, too. I eat Yoplait ones but miss the Breakstone ones I had as a kid.
