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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the Fruit:
- Gently fold in the chopped fruit or berries until evenly distributed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
