| I found this recipe in a Rachael Ray magazine.Let me type the recipe out to you and I need help with making this diet friendly.What can I replace,,with the high calorie for lower calories.
Strawberry whipped sensation
4 cups fresh strawberries divided
1 can (140z) of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 lemon juice
1tub of Cool Whip
8 Oreos cookies finely chopped
1 TBS melted butter
Line a loaf pan(8x4) with foil.Mash 2 cups of strawberries in large bowl.Stir in condensed milk juice and 2 cups of Cool Whip,pour into pan
Top with combined chopped cookies and butter,press into mixture.Cover.
Freeze at least 6 hours.To serve,invert onto plate..remove foil and frost tops and sides withremaining CoolWhip.Top wth remaining strawberries as a garnish and slice to servings.Makes 12 servings.
The picture of this looks so light and fluffy,,like a nice desert on a hot day,,or something light after a heavy meal.The cookie part when turned out onto plate looks like a chocolate crust on the bottem.
To make it more diet friendly,,,I know I can get Cool Whip in a low calorie but what about the Oreos,,Sweetend Condense milk 
Thanks for your help! |

| Donna you can make you own condenesed milk . and cut back there
1/3 cup evaporated fat-free milk + 3/4 cup sugar + 2 tbsp butter or margerine & heat all until dissolved
or
1 cup low-fat sweetened condensed milk combine
1 cup + 2 tbsp nonfat dry milk powder + 1/2 cup warm water, then add 3/4 cup sugar = 1 cup low-fat sweetened condensed milk
plain chocolate cook crust ... and use plain cookies for top
Low fat cool whip
and of course you can use something other than butter ..
I not sure about Splenda for the sugar ...I will research it for you

| Instead of using regular oreos find the murry's sugar free cookies that look like oreos
