Chef John's Fresh Berry Fool
While certainly not light on the calorie counter, this fresh berry fool recipe (from the French "fouler" meaning "to mash") is shockingly airy on the palate. The contrast between the rich, fluffy cream and the syrupy, tangy fruit makes this so much greater than the sum of its parts. Fresh berries are typical, but this would work with peeled, diced, ripe peaches.
