Polenta Pancakes with Blackberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 (16-ounce) tube polenta
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 1/2 cups frozen blackberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 ounce orange-flavored liqueur
• 1 tablespoon reduced-calorie whipped topping
• Orange zest

Preparation

1. Slice polenta into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Heat butter in a large pan over medium-high heat; add polenta rounds. Sear until golden brown (2-3 minutes on each side). Place frozen blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender; blend until smooth. Strain the mixture into a bowl, pressing with a spatula. Heat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook 3 minutes; add orange-flavored liqueur. Stir until the sauce is heated through. Serve sauce over polenta cakes; top with whipped topping. Sprinkle with orange zest; serve.
