Cooking Light "lighten up"
One of the thing I really like about my Cooking Light is the "lighten up"
part. Readers submit a recipe that they really like, and then the Cooking Light team do their best to thin it out without taking out the taste. This month, a Grandma wants her favorite dessert to be less fattening. Keep in mind this is a very fatty dessert... original recipe was 428 calories per serving, 25.6g Fat and 54% of the calories being from fat. New version is 265 calories, 8.4g fat and 30% of calories from fat!!! Still a 6pts treat but... that's instead of 10! Here's the Cooking Light version of it: Ice Cream Treasure 6 oz Chocolate covered English toffee candy bar, crushed 8 cups reduced fat vanilla ice cream, softened 4 cups crispy rice cereal squares crushed (such as rice chex) 2 cups whole grain toasted oat cereal (such as cherios) 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/3 cup slivered almons, toasted 1/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut, toasted 2 TBSP butter, melted. 1- Stir crushed candy into ice cream, Cover and freeze until ready to use. 2- combine cereals, brown sugar and remaining ingredients in large bowl, stirring until well blended. Press half of the cereal mixture in bottom of a 13X9 inch baking pan. 3- Let Ice cream stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes or until softened. Spread softened ice cream mixture over cereal mixture; top evenly with remaining cereal mixture. Cover and freeze 8 hours to overnight. 16 servings, Cal. 265, Fat 8.4g, Fib. 1g |

Cooking Light "lighten up"
not my kind of treat but I wonder if you could cut more calories if you used
the splenda version of brown sugar, and if you used the Icb light stick for the butter? Lee Willow Herself wrote in message y.net...

Cooking Light "lighten up"
and I was just thinking, what if you used some yummy sugar free yogurt
instead of the ice-cream, Like maybe pinaqualatta or coconut cream? Lee Willow Herself wrote in message y.net... One of the thing I really like about my Cooking Light is the "lighten up" part.

Desserts like this one can really trigger over eating for anyone who loves sweets. Audrey |
