Simply Sensational Low Fat Strawberry Shortcake

"I wanted to make my father a nice dessert for Father's Day this year. My father loves home made cakes and fresh fruit, my girlfriend LOVES strawberries, and my mom, (whose lost over 75 pounds!) can't have high calorie/fat desserts. This was my attempt to make something to that everyone could enjoy! I adapted this from Kraft Food and Family magazine to make it a bit more figure friendly."

  1. I was asked to make a low cal/fat strawberry shortcake. I found and made this one. It was VERY well received. Everyone loved it! Few things to note: due to an allergy, I substituted plain non-fat yogurt for the sour cream (1:1 ration). I also substituted Truvia (stevia natural sweetner) for the splenda (1:1 ratio). People were happy to report that the Truvia did not have an aftertaste, as sometimes stevia can. I saw below that p_dshipman thought the recipe should have called for 1.4 oz package of pudding mix (instead of 3.5 oz). So when I made the whipped topping I did use only 1 (1.4oz) box and it tasted/worked great. Next time I make it though, I will double the whipped topping so I can be more generous with that deliciousness. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
     
  2. I made this a couple of nights ago. Overall, it was very good, but I think there was an error in the recipe. It called for 4 oz of fat-free, sugar-free instant pudding. One box is 1.4 oz, and after adding just two boxes, I had what was the consistency of paste for the filling. I'm pretty sure it should have said 1.4 ozs. <br/>Other than that the recipe was wonderful. We'll definitely make it again.
     
  3. OMG, this is wonderful! I made it for DH's B-day (he's a new diabetic and needed some pampering for his special day). I made the full recipe but as I knew that there was going to be left over I made shortbread muffins so that I could make individual servings. That way I could pack the berries and cream and cake remains seperatly and have them all good for use the next day. I can tell you that this dessert was a smash hit all around. Those that said they would pass on dessert rapidly changed their mind once they saw these beautiful creations. The cream mis is out of this world and it will be my standard "go to" topping/filling now. I want to try it with chocolate pudding next. :D
     
  4. 10 stars!! This is amazing and so easy! We made this for Father's Day and it was a huge success!! I did need more milk for my pudding mixture but otherwise made it as written. We will be making this for all the 4th of July too! It is such a show stopper!Thank you so much!!
