Mix and Match Dessert

trishlambert

I'm sure I'm not the first or only person to do something like this...but you know how it is when you "discover" something, even if it's been thought of before...

I have put together a dessert that has component parts that could be changed to create different taste treats. Here's the one I've made:

4 squares of graham crackers, made into crumbs
4 teaspoons Smart Balance spread
4 teaspons Hershey's Special Dark fudge topping
1 package Jello Sugar Free cheesecake flavor pudding

Put spread and cracker crumbs into a small bow and microwave for 30 second on 50% or until butter is melted. Stir mixture so crumbs are coated and divded equally between 4 containers (need to be at least 1/2 cup in size). Press into bottom of each container. Let cool a bit to set the crust.

Put 1 teaspoon of topping into each container. Nuke for 30 seconds on 50% power, or until spreadable. Carefully spread topping into a thin layer that covers the crust.

Mix pudding mix with 2 cups fat free milk and evenly distribute between 4 containers. Cover each and refrigerate until set.

Calorie count: 150 calories.

So here's the mix and match part....change out components to get different combinations...here's what I've thought of so far:

Crumbs: cinnamon grahams, chocolate wafers, vanilla wafers, ginger snaps, crumbed nuts (walnuts, pecans)
Thin layer: Nutella, peanut butter, almond butter, preserves (raspberry, strawberry), jelly, marmalade, lemon curd
Pudding: Vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, or other sugar free flavor

And, of course, there's always Cool Whip or fat free Reddi-Whip for the top if you want!

Calorie count will vary depending on combination, but it should be easy to keep it pretty low!
