Key lime pie and strawberries were destined to be together. Words cannot describe how much you'll love this recipe!
Prep:
15 minutes
Ingredients:
10 large strawberries
3 tbsp. light whipped topping (like Skinny Truwhip or So Delicious Dairy Free Cocowhip Light)
2 tbsp. fat-free plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp. light/reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1 packet no-calorie sweetener (like Truvia)
1 1/2 tsp. lime juice (key lime, if available)
1/2 tsp. lime zest
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 graham cracker (1/4 sheet), finely crushed
Directions:
Slice the stem ends off the strawberries, about 1/2 inch below the stem, revealing an opening in each berry. Use a narrow spoon to remove about half of the flesh inside each berry, allowing room for filling.
In a small bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except graham cracker.
Spoon yogurt mixture into a bottom corner of a plastic bag; snip off the tip of that corner to create a small hole, and squeeze the mixture into the strawberries.
Sprinkle with crushed graham cracker.
MAKES 2 SERVINGS
HG Tips: Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each strawberry, so the berries sit flat. Use a grapefruit spoon (like this one) to scoop out the flesh of the berries.
