Recipe Introduction


Pile those layers high, and you'll feel as if you're dining on a cloud! I always have fat-free cream cheese, fat-free yogurt, graham crackers, and frozen strawberries in the house (and you should, too), so I think of this recipe as one of my "old reliables"-ready in minutes, prepared from ingredients on hand, and yes, definately delicious!
Serves 8





List of Ingredients



• 12 (2 1/2-inch) graham cracker squares*
  
• 1 (8-ounce) package Philadelphia fat-free cream cheese
  
• 3/4 cup Yoplat plain fat-free yogurt
  
• 1/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
  
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  
• 1/4 cup Splenda
  
• 2 (4-serving) packages JELL-O sugar-free strawberry gelatin*
  
• 1 cup boiling water
  
• 2 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries
  
• 2 tablespoons flaked coconut
  






Instructions



1. Place 9 graham crackers in a 9-by-9-inch cake pan, breaking as necesary to fit. In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese with a spoon until soft. Add yogurt, dry milk powder, coconut extract, and Splenda. Mix gently to combine. Fold in 1 package dry gelatin. Spread mixture evenly over graham crackers. Refrigerate. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine remaining package of dry gelatin and boiling water. Mix well to dissolve gelatin. Add frozen strawberries. Mix well to combine. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
