Here is a delicious dessert that taste so good you won't believe it's low fat. I have made this for parties and pot lucks before.





Lemon Strawberry Trifle





1 ounce package fat-free, sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix


1 (16-ounce) angel food cake, sliced into 1-inch cubes


1 1/2 cups skim milk


1 quart fresh strawberries sliced


12 ounces low fat, sugar-free lemon yogurt


1/2 cup fresh blueberries


1 carton fat-free whipped topping


3 whole strawberries for garnish





1. Combine pudding mix with milk in a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed of an electric mixer for about a minute or until well combined. Stir in yogurt and whipped topping.





2. Assemble the trifle by layering a third of the cubed angel food cake on the bottom of a deep trifle bowl, followed by a third of the sliced strawberries, and a third of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers two times, ending with a layer of pudding mix on the final layer.





3. Garnish with fresh blueberries and strawberries for a festive red, white and blue dessert. Makes 20 servings.





======================================鈥?br>

I use store bought angel food cake, but you can make your own. Angel food is a good cake to have if you are watching your fat intake. I have never made it myself, but this is a high-rated recipe from a website that I use all the time.





* 12 eggs


* 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar


* 1 cup all-purpose flour


* 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar


* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


* 1/2 teaspoon almond extract


* 1/4 teaspoon salt


* 1 cup sugar





1. Separate eggs; discard yolks or refrigerate for another use. Measure egg whites, adding or removing whites as needed to equal 1-1/2 cups. Place in a mixing bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.





2. Meanwhile, sift confectioners' sugar and flour together three times; set aside. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on high speed. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form. Fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely before removing cake from pan.
