This smooth and refreshing dessert is popular at summer cookouts, but it makes a delicious light finish to hearty winter meals, too. For a pretty presentation, I serve it in individual glass dishes garnished with fresh sliced strawberries. -Joan Jay, Frisco, Texas Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup cornstarch |
3 cups fat-free milk |
2/3 cup lemon juice |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping |
3 drops yellow food coloring, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch; gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, peel and vanilla.
2. Set saucepan in ice; stir until mixture reaches room temperature, about 5 minutes. Fold in whipped topping and food coloring if desired. Spoon into dessert dishes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Yield: 10 servings.
