Strawberry Whipped Sensation ...Foodie Friday...

To view more delicious recipes please stop Designs by Gollum




While on vacation with the family this past week, I needed a fast and easy recipe to take advantage of the fresh strawberries that are in season. I found this recipe that fit all of my criteria on the Kraft website. The recipe has to set for a good 6 hours in your freezer. You can also use low fat and non fat products to save on calories to assure that your bathing suit will still fit while enjoying some dessert.

We all thought the taste was light and refreshing and the perfect ending to a beach day. It would have cost $20- $25 to have ice cream if we all went out for fancy ice cream (6 adults & 2 toddlers) as compared to about $8 -$10 to make this myself. So this is economically friendly. This recipe is definitely a keeper and one that we have already repeated this week!


Strawberry Whipped Sensation

4 cups fresh strawberries, divided
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
8 OREO Cookies, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. butter, melted

LINE 9x5-inch loaf pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Mash 2 cups berries in large bowl. Add milk, juice and 2 cups COOL WHIP; mix well. Pour into prepared pan.

MIX chopped cookies and butter. Spoon over COOL WHIP mixture. Cover with ends of foil; gently press cookie mixture into COOL WHIP mixture. Freeze 6 hours or until firm.

INVERT dessert onto plate when ready to serve; remove pan and foil. Frost dessert with remaining COOL WHIP. Slice remaining berries; arrange over dessert. Freeze leftovers.

Makes 12 servings
