Strawberry Cheesecake-ish

Good for summer!

Individual Strawberry Cheesecake-ish-es
1 small package Jello Sugar Free Pudding, Cheesecake flavor
Skim milk
Tub o' fat free Cool Whip
Box of Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers
Strawberries

Make pudding according to package directions, going a bit shy on the milk so it's good and stiff. Let it set fully. Mix in some Cool Whip. Line a muffin tin with cupcake papers and drop a Nilla wafer in the bottom of each. Plop some of the pudding mixture on each. Top with strawberry (or strawberry slices), refrigerate and serve. Easy to control portions this way!

Variations: Before you add the strawberry, cover with plastic wrap and freeze. You can add another Nilla wafer as a topper and have a little ice cream sandwich-like concoction. Or, crush the Nilla wafers in big chunks and layer in trifle dish ... wafers, pudding, diced or sliced strawberries, repeat. Or, dice strawberries, crush wafers, mix it all up and serve in martini glasses ... OH! You could use the crushed Nilla wafer as the sugar on the glass! Or, substitute the Nilla wafer with Angel Food cake in the trifle dish. Or, change pudding flavors and knock yourself slap out!

And, the RF Nilla Wafers are something like 120 calories per serving and a serving is something like 8 cookies. That's a lot of yummy for not so much guilt. You get crunch and sweet and many pieces. My kind of gig.
