âCooking foods that are festive but low-fat can be challenging,â observes Debbie Lucci in Salem, Virginia. âMy health-conscious family loves this quick, no-bake recipe, and I love that it gets me out of the kitchen so fast!â Ingredients:
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin |
1/4 cup cold water |
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
sugar substitute equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar |
1 envelope whipped topping mix (dream whip) |
2 cups fat-free whipped topping |
1 reduced-fat graham cracker crust (8 inches) |
1 cup reduced-sugar cherry pie filling |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and vanilla until blended. Gradually beat in sugar substitute. Gradually add whipped topping mix; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture; beat 1 minute longer.
3. Mix in 1 cup whipped topping. Fold in remaining whipped topping. Spoon into crust; top with cherry pie filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Yield: 8 servings.
