Sams Low Fat 3 Layer Strawberry Pudding Food

QUICK & EASY 3 LAYER STRAWBERRY PUDDING

Steps:

• In a plastic slider bag, break 50 wafers into small pieces. They should be chunky pieces, not fine dust. In an 8x8 dish, put the pieces on the bottom and stack the whole pieces around the edge.
• Cut strawberries into pieces and sprinkle with sugar. Let strawberries set for 10 minutes to absorb the sugar. Drain excess liquid off of strawberries and layer in the dish over the wafers.
• Do not start the next step until you have the strawberries in the dish over the wafers. I got ahead of myself one time and made the pudding mix, which sets up really fast and my strawberries were still in the bowl. By the time I layered the strawberries, my pudding mix was a solid gooey mess
• Mix pudding mix and milk in a bowl for 5 minutes. Tip: Pour the milk in fast over the mix and stir. The pudding mix calls for 3 cups of milk. I use 2 cups to make a thicker pudding.
• Spread the pudding over the strawberries and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Remove from refrigerator and cover the pudding with whipped topping. Take a few minutes and sit back and admire your new dessert, then serve.

STRAWBERRY PUDDING

Steps:

• Clean and rinse berries. If they are large cut in halves or quarters.
• Bring water to a boil over medium heat. Add sugar and strawberries and simmer until berries are tender, about 8 minutes. You will still have lumps of berries. If you want a smooth consitency, break the fruit up by pushing the berries with the back of a spoon on the side of the pan.
• Dissolve cornstach in a little water and add to fruit, stirring constantly. Add vanilla or zest if desired (one or the other not both).
• Bring to rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue stirring and allow pudding to boil a few minutes. The pudding should no longer be cloudy and regain its shine and gloss.
• Transfer to a bowl and place in the refrigerator until thouroughly cool. Depending on the bowl size and shape, this could take several hours.
• If you are planning to substitute part of the sugar (would not suggest all) with baking Splenda, add the splenda to the bowl just before cooling.
• Optional serving ideas: Top with whipped cream, Cool Whip or vanilla yogurt. Chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa are also nice.

STRAWBERRY PUDDING DESSERT

Steps:

• Hull strawberries and slice in 1/4-inch thick slices, about 3 slices per strawberry.
• Mix whole milk, condensed milk, and pudding mix together in a bowl; condensed milk will sink to the bottom, so mix well. Fold in whipped topping without mixing too much.
• Layer a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1/2 of the wafer cookies, followed by 1/2 of the strawberries. Pour in 1/2 of the pudding mixture over top. Repeat with a second layer of wafers, strawberries, and pudding.
• Refrigerate to let dessert firm up before serving, 2 to 3 hours.

EASY LOW FAT STRAWBERRY PIE RECIPE

LIGHT LAYERED ANGEL FOOD DESSERT (LOW-FAT)

Steps:

• Get your three main ingredients prepared and then it's just a matter of assembly.
• First, thaw strawberries. Mash up any large chunks; mix in balsamic vinegar. You'll be dividing this for TWO layers. Set aside.
• Second, cut angel food cake into slices no more than 1" thick. You'll be dividing this for THREE layers, so try to get 18 slices.
• Third, just before assembly, mix UNdrained pineapple, dry pudding mix and 1/2 the thawed Cool Whip. You'll be dividing this for TWO layers. It will start to firm up as it sits, so you'll want to do your assembly as soon as this mixture is ready.
• Assembly: I use a 9" square glass baking dish. Arrange angel food slices, pineapple/pudding mix, strawberries. Repeat those three layers so now you have six layers. The next layer will be angel food cake. The top layer will be the remaining Cool Whip. Feel free to garnish with some fresh fruit.
• Chill in refrigerator several hours in order for the cake to absorb the moisture and flavor.
• If you have a clear glass trifle bowl, this dessert will be as delightful to look at as it is to eat!
