A creamy lime topping turns angel food cake into these yummy squares that are perfect for potlucks or picnics. You can eat a piece of this light and airy dessert without feeling one bit guilty, notes Beverly Marshall of Orting, Washington. I adapted this luscious treat from another recipe. It is super-easy to make. Ingredients:
1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free lime gelatin |
1 cup boiling water |
1 prepared angel food cake (8 inches), cut into 1-inch cubes |
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1 carton (8 ounces) reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed, divided |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Refrigerate until mixture just begins to thicken, about 35 minutes. Place cake cubes in a 13-in. x 9-in. dish coated with cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the sugar, lemon juice and peel. Add gelatin mixture; beat until combined. Fold in 1-1/2 cups whipped topping.
3. Spread over top of cake, covering completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares; top with remaining whipped topping. Yield: 15 servings.
