My mother sent me the original recipe for this delightful dessert 45 years ago, and I lightened it up, writes Alice Case of Carrollton, Texas. With bits of angel food cake and a cream cheese-like texture, this refreshing treat tastes so rich that no one will guess it's light. Ingredients:
2 cans (5-1/2 ounces each) apricot nectar, divided |
1 package (.3 ounces) sugar-free orange gelatin |
1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix |
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed |
5 cups cubed angel food cake |
1 can (15 ounces) reduced-sugar apricot halves, drained and sliced |
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1 cup apricot nectar on high for 50-60 seconds or until hot. Sprinkle gelatin over hot nectar; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine remaining apricot nectar and enough water to measure 1-1/4 cups; whisk in pudding mix and milk powder for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in cooled gelatin; fold in whipped topping and cake.
3. Pour into an 11-in. x 7-in. dish. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Garnish with apricot slices. Yield: 8 servings.
