Weight Watchers-Friendly Frozen Tray Dessert
Ingredients:

  • 500 ml light whipped topping (such as Cool Whip Lite)
  • 1 can (400 g) fat-free or reduced-sugar sweetened condensed milk
  • 250 g of your favorite fruit or berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or mangoes)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • If using large fruits like strawberries or mangoes, chop them into small pieces. If using berries, keep them whole or halve them if large.
  2. Mix the Whipped Topping and Sweetened Condensed Milk:
    • In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the light whipped topping into the fat-free or reduced-sugar sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
  3. Add the Fruit:
    • Gently fold in the chopped fruit or berries until evenly distributed.
  4. Assemble the Dessert:
    • Pour the mixture into a large tray or baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure it’s evenly spread.
  5. Freeze:
    • Cover the tray with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the dessert is fully frozen.
  6. Serve:
    • Once frozen, remove the dessert from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut.
    • Serve in slices or squares, and enjoy immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a Silicone Mold: For easy removal and portion control, consider using a silicone mold to freeze the dessert into individual portions.
  • Add a Flavor Boost: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of lemon or lime zest to the mixture before freezing for extra flavor without adding points.
  • Low-Point Fruits: Opt for low-point fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries to keep the overall points of the dessert as low as possible.

Benefits:

  • Low in Points: By using light whipped topping and fat-free or reduced-sugar condensed milk, you can enjoy this dessert without overloading on points.
  • High in Fiber: Berries are high in fiber, which aids in digestion and helps keep you feeling fuller longer.
  • Satisfying Sweet Cravings: This dessert is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth with a refreshing, cold treat that fits within your Weight Watchers plan.
