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. Ingredients:
1 cup skim milk, divided |
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 1/4 cups jiffy baking mix |
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package fat free sugar-free instant cheesecake pudding mix (vanilla flavored works too) |
8 ounces light whipped topping, thawed, divided |
4 cups strawberries, washed and sliced |
1/3 cup splenda granular (sugar substitute) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Mix 1/2 cup of the skim milk, sour cream and 3 tbsp sugar in a large bowl.
3. Stir in the dry biscuit mix until well blended.
4. Spread evenly into a greased 9-inch round cake pan.
5. Bake 12-15 minutes or until top is golden.
6. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
7. Mix strawberry slices and 1/3 cup Splenda in a bowl and set aside.
8. Combine the dry pudding mix and remaining 1/2 cup skim milk adn mix well.
9. Gently stir in half of the whipped topping until well blended.
10. When cake has cooled, carefully slice in half horizontally to make 2 layers.
11. Place bottom of cake on a serving plate, and top evenly with half of the strawberry mixture.
12. Spread top of strawberries with the pudding mixture and top with the top cake layer.
13. Spread remaining whipped topping on top of cake and top with remaining strawberries.
14. Serve immediately!
15. Please store cake leftovers in refrigerator.
