HG Frozen Strawberry Bars

Ingredients:

For Crust: * 1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown) * 1 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original) * 1 cup Fiber One Caramel Delight cereal * 3 tbsp. Sweetner (I use truvia, and a little less than 3T.) * 1 tsp. cinnamon For Filling * Half a 14-oz. can (1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp.) fat-free sweetened condensed milk * 2 cups frozen strawberries, slightly thawed * 16 oz. (2 cups) fat-free strawberry yogurt (I used nonfat vanilla, Kroger brand) * 1 cup Cool Whip Free, slightly thawed * 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter with 2 tbsp. water. Microwave until just melted; set aside. 3. In a blender or food processor, grind both types of cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency.  4. Transfer to a bowl, and add butter mixture, Splenda, and cinnamon. Stir until mixed well.  5. Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish (I used 9x9) with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute crust mixture along the bottom of the dish, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust. Press it into the edges, but not up the sides. 6. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes; remove and let cool. 7. Add all ingredients for filling to the blender. Blend at high speed until completely mixed and smooth.  8. Pour evenly over the crust in the baking dish, covering it completely. Cover and freeze for 6 hours, or until firm. 9. Before serving, remove from freezer and let thaw for 5 - 10 minutes. Cut into 9 squares and enjoy! MAKES 9 SERVINGS

Lemon Bars -- WW style

I'm staying with my grandma this week and she LOVES lemon desserts, so I decided to find something that she could eat and I could eat too without cheating on my diet!


Weight Watchers Lemon Bars Recipe

Ingredients:
* 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
* 5 tbsp packed light brown sugar
* 8 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
* 4 large eggs
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
* 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 2 tsp lemon zest

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.

To make crust, mix flour and light brown sugar using a food processor until fully incorporated. Toss butter into flour mixture and pulse to combine using short bursts of power until butter is cut into tiny pea-sized pieces and dough appears lumpy.

Sprinkle crust mixture onto an ungreased 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking pan as evenly as possible; press down with a spatula to create a packed surface. Place crust in middle of oven and bake until golden, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make lemon topping, beat eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until well blended.

Add vanilla extract and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar; mix well.

Add lemon juice and remaining powdered sugar;

Mix until powdered sugar is completely dissolved and then add zest.

As soon as crust is finished, remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Immediately pour lemon mixture over hot crust.

Bake completely, about 30 minutes; cool, and cut into 24 bars. Yields 1 bar per serving.

NOTES: The crust must be HOT when you pour on the lemon mixture.
You’ll need approximately three lemons to yield the amount of juice and zest in this recipe.
You can increase the lemon flavor of these bars by adding more zest or eliminate the zest altogether for a less tart taste. You can also change the flavor completely by subbing fresh lime juice and zest for the lemon.
