mistyreed82

So I just wanted to share my new yummy low fat treat!! LOVE IT!!!
OK so...its Angel Food Cake, and slice it into 3 sections...(top, middle, bottom layer)
then in a bowl mix a 6oz tub of cool whip (any kind, but I used sugar free), one can of crushed pineapple, and one instant pack of vanilla pudding (just the powder) any kind (I used the sugar free-fat free).
Once thats all mixed, spread it on to the 3 layers, then around the sides of the whole cake.
Sooo YUMMY!!! Angel cake 150 cal. (one slice) Pudding (1/2 cup 25 cal) cool whip (2 tbsp 20 cal) and the pineapple (1/2 cup 70 cal) Not too bad considering you spread it out and dont take in the full amount. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! Try it..you'll like it! :bigsmile:

I usually make angel food cake with a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple and bake. So yummy! I will be trying this over the weekend. Thanks!

LOL My grandma just had this almost exact same thing at Easter. I don't think she sectioned it, but otherwise it was the same thing. Yum!

I really dont understand

Cool Whip is TOTAL CRAP for your body

use the real thing...yes it has more calories but dont you guys care what you are putting in your bodies?

your body would like real food ...not chemicals made in a factory

it isnt all about calories....please do not eat cool whip

kimss

I have to agree with Dave. if your going to eat something, make it the real thing, not imitation.
Whip cream, butter, sugar........they are all fine in moderation, heaven only knows what all those chemicals are doing to your body . I wish to be healthy for a lifetime, not preserved eternity.....

Thanks for the recipe. That sounds wonderful. I love pineapple! And am I allowed to say....

I also like Cool Whip??? I like them all....the sugar-free, the lite, AND the "leaded" version! :blushing: Yes, I'm sure it has some ingredients that are not good for the body, but compared to other sweet things I could be eating, Cool Whip is the least of my worries. It's fluffy, sweet, light, and low fat and low calorie. Poor Cool Whip....everybody hatin' up on her today.:noway:

Hope you all have a great week! I always appreciate all of the great recipe ideas and positive feedback and support! :glasses:

Youre very welcome!! And I think its ok to like cool whip! Its a lot better than some other things we could be eating...drinking...etc. Its ok. But like I said, for me personally Im not a huge fan, except for this treat!!
Good Luck to all!!!

icandoallthings

Oooh - this looks really good! I'm going to try this one 4sure!

Despite the controversy, I eat cool whip pretty often in one of my low fat desserts (I make sugar free/fat free/ pudding with non-fat milk, add a few mini marshmallows and top it off with cool whip). Even a real small portion satisfies the sweet tooth. I make up little containers ahead of time so that I can't cheat with more "tasties".

Thanx for the recipe idea - mmm!
I'll try my hardest not to top this recipe off with toasted coconut! :blushing:

HealthierMamasita

This sounds nummy!!

cool whip!:smooched:

I made something similar a few months ago.
I added strawberries, peaches and almonds.. Mmmmm!

I am truly curious and in no way wanting a debate...I would really like to know why you think it isOK to put these chemicals in your body just to save a few calories.

Is it the moderation argument? a little junk is OK?

is it the "there are other worse things to eat" argument?

why not eat the real thing? becasuse it has too many calories?

thanks and I am really not wanting an argument..I just dont understand why people eat something like this.
thanks

anyone got a carb and sugar count on this recipe per serving?:drinker:

Phoenix_Rising

I just recently picked up a Sugar Free Angel Food cake in the Walmart bakery section. I believe it was 120 cals for a pretty hefty 1/4 cake slice! Also picked up the sugar free strawberry glaze and strawberries. Hoping I can convince my diabetic father to enjoy this treat instead of his cookies that send his blood sugar sky-rocketing. He might like this recipes too, and even though I don't like pineapple, I suppose I could be a good daughter and make it for him anyhow.

That's ok! I don't think you are "debating". I actually think that you are asking some good questions.
I really don't have a good answer except for maybe your A and C. Truthfully, I would love to eat "the real thing" because I do believe it is better for you. Cooking is something I excel at and I enjoy making everything real and homeade (for when company comes over and I'm hosting dinner parties) but, for me and my weight loss, it's the calorie thing. I know in my mind that if I consume all of those calories, I will have to take away food (or even whole meals) from my daily allowance. Also, I had lost 80 lbs a few years ago by cutting back on the calories by eating Splenda and Cool Whip and all of that junk (in moderation of course). I need to keep going to get to my goal weight and I notice that a little of that stuff doesn't effect the way my body feels. Anyway, to make a long story short... You do have a good point. Maybe I'm ignorant or wrong but it seems to work (for me) to keep the calories down.

Oh c'mon Dave...isn't it an edible oil product.....yum...gotta love those!

mistyreed82

Oh my...I didnt realize that this posting would stir up so many ppl. Im sorry...it was just a really good TREAT that tastes GOOD and was LOW cal! Again...Im sorry.....

LuckyLeprechaun

no need to be sorry. I think Dave has good intentions- he just is very direct about his thoughts. Sometimes he sounds a bit harsh but I think his heart is in the right place. He is a good guy:happy:

I never ate cool whip until I joined MFP, I had always gone for heavy whipping cream, whipped at home with some sugar. The REAL high octane stuff. I tried light cool whip cause I wanted to save on calories. I don't know what it is made of, but I didn't like the taste, so I won't get it again. But that's just me:ohwell:

thanks for sharing your recipe- I'm sure lots of MFP'ers will enjoy it:flowerforyou:

cmriverside

Dave is sensitive, you never know what can happen here! And he does mean well, as Lucky said.

On another argument "against" Cool Whip and Splenda:

Your body perceives these as sweet, and it has been proven that people who continue to eat artificially sweetened foods have a harder time losing weight, because you really need to wean yourself from extremely sweet things - taste-wise - otherwise it's just a short step back to sugar once you start losing weight, or reach your goal.

Maintanence of a weight is just as difficult as losing weight.

I wonder why you want to make it harder on yourself? You are needing to change the way you think about all food. If you switch to natural foods, you will naturally be more satisfied and you won't be putting the chemicals in your body for the rest of your life. If you must have sweet food, use honey in very small quantitiy. You don't "need" Cool Whip or Splenda. It's just a bad habit to pick up.

I suddenly understand why Dave seems to have been on a tirade all day and calling *everyone* cool whip eaters.

lol too funny. It does sound yummy, though I'm not a cool whip fan, I'd probably use lowfat yogurt (and add a little honey for sweetness) instead and layer it just before serving....save the calories without the cool whip which is too greasy for me.

Thanks for sharing the idea

I dont intentionally eat bad things. I just never stopped to think about what the heck was in cool whip. and AGAIN...like I said before..I never eat the stuff...I just used in the treat I made, cuz a co-worker told me about it and thats what was in it. Im sure I can make it again sometime a different way. Thanks for the info and I am REALLY trying.....

If you search the thread : A delicious blend of sugar, wax and condom lube- you will see why some are soo passionate about the cool whip topic.
