Fruity white cake (healthified)

Review by Lyndee:

This wasn’t meant to be a blog post but I made this cake last week and the boys loved it so I thought I would share it here.  Just a few easy steps make this an awesome summer sweet treat!

Ingredients:

1 white cake mix (lemon cake mix is great too when topped with fruit)

1 can diet 7-up or spite

1 container fat free cool whip

Sliced fruit

Mix cake mix and soda together in a bowl. Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 pan.  Spread batter in pan and bake according to directions on the box.  When cooled top with cool whip and fruit.  I used strawberries and kiwi this time but you can use peaches, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries or whatever fruit trips your trigger.  It’s light, fun, healthified and delicious!!! 

Fruit pizza (healthified)

Review by Lyndee

Ingredients:

Sugar cookie roll

8 oz light cream cheese (softened)

8 oz Fat free cool whip

Various fruits, washed and sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Press cookie dough into pizza pan.  This is easiest if it’s been out of the fridge for a few minutes.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  While baking, beat together whipped cream and cream cheese until smooth.  Let cookie cool for at least 10 minutes when it comes out of the oven.  Once cool, spread your cool whip/cream cheese over the cookie.  Top with any fruit of your choice. I used blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and kiwi.  Let chill in the fridge until ready to serve. 

This was super easy to make and tasted delicious! We took it to our friends Memorial Day barbeque and it was a super hit with kids and adults, alike.  No one could tell I had used reduced fat ingredients! A great dessert for summertime.
