Strawberry Whipped Sensation ...Foodie Friday...

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!
