Sensible Soul Food

Simply Sensational Strawberry Shortcake    

This dessert tastes just as decadent with a lower calorie count by making a few simple substitutions.  Use 1% milk, lowfat sour cream, sugar free pudding and whipped topping.  Toss the strawberries with your favorite sugar substitute, assemble and enjoy.  For individual desserts, make “drop biscuits” with the dough on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.  Split and assemble as directed.

 

Ingredients

Makes: 8 servings

1-1/4 cups milk, divided

1/4 cup  BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

3 Tbsp. sugar

2-1/4 cups  all-purpose baking mix for biscuits

1 tub  (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

1/3 cup  sugar

 

Make Ahead

This dessert is best when assembled right before serving. You can assemble this dessert in minutes if you have all the ingredients ready. Bake cake ahead and cool. Have strawberries sliced and mixed with the sugar. And make sure the whipped topping is thawed.

 

Directions

Prep Time: 20 min

Total Time: 35 min

PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Beat 1/2 cup of the milk, the sour cream and 3 Tbsp. sugar in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in baking mix until just moistened. Spread evenly into greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake 12 to 15 min. or until top is golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack; cool completely.

ADD remaining 3/4 cup milk to dry pudding mix in medium bowl. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Gently stir in half of the whipped topping. Toss strawberries with 1/3 cup sugar; set aside. Cut cake horizontally in half to make two layers.

PLACE bottom cake layer on serving plate; top with half of the strawberry mixture. Spread with pudding mixture; cover with top cake layer. Spread with remaining whipped topping; top with remaining strawberry mixture. Serve immediately. Store any leftover shortcake in refrigerator.
