Hungry Girl Today: 08.23.07
WEEKLY WEIGH-IN
Who'da thought we'd be able to come up with such clever uses for bagged
frozen fruit?! Check out these super-fruity, socks-rockin' recipes!
Chunky Peach Strawberry Sauce
PER SERVING (1/4th of recipe): 61 calories, <0.5g fat, 40mg sodium, 15g
carbs, 2g fiber, 8g sugars, 1g protein = 1 Point
This stuff tastes AMAZING all by itself, but it's also insanely good over light
ice cream, on top of oatmeal, mixed into fat-free yogurt or cottage cheese...
and more!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups frozen whole strawberries
1 1/2 cups frozen peach slices
2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
dash salt
Directions:
Combine Splenda, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt with 1/2 cup
of cold water. Stir until all ingredients are completely dissolved. Set aside.
Place fruit in a nonstick pot over medium-low heat. Once fruit begins to thaw,
add liquid mixture. Stir.
As fruit defrosts and heats, use a spatula to break fruit apart into smaller
pieces. Continuously stir until mixture becomes uniform, thick and syrupy.
Can be eaten hot, warm or chilled in the fridge until cold (but it's best eaten
the day it's prepared). Enjoy!
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
Gooey Crunch Fruit Tartlets
PER SERVING (1 tartlet): 43 calories, 0.5g fat, 60mg sodium, 9g carbs, 1g
fiber, 3g sugars, 1g protein = 1 Point
These crispy tartlets will look super-impressive when served to pals, and
they're SOOOO easy to make!
Ingredients:
1 batch (entire recipe) Chunky Peach Strawberry Sauce (see above); chilled
12 small square wonton wrappers like the ones by Dynasty or Nasoya (found
with the other refrigerated Asian items in the supermarket)
48 sprays 0-calories-per-serving butter spray (like I Can't Believe It's Not
Butter! Spray)
Optional topping: Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated OR Fat Free
Reddi-wip
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick
spray, and set aside.
On a clean dry surface, set out 4 wonton wrappers. Spray each one with 2
sprays of butter, and use your fingers to spread butter evenly over each
wonton; gently flip wontons and repeat. Carefully transfer wontons to muffin
tin, placing each wonton in a muffin cup and pressing it in to form the cup
shape. Repeat entire process 2 more times, and place tray in the oven.
Bake wonton cups in the oven for 10 minutes, or until they are firm and
brown. Once cups are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a plate. Allow
cups to cool completely.
Evenly spoon chilled sauce into the wonton cups (for best results, fill the
wonton cups close to the time you'll be serving or enjoying your tartlets).
Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
If desired, before serving, top each tartlet with a squirt of Reddi-wip or a
sprinkling of Splenda.
MAKES 12 SERVINGS
Choco-Berry Frozen Nuggets!
PER SERVING (2 nuggets): 38 calories, 0.75g fat, 5mg sodium, 7g carbs,
0.5g fiber, 4g sugars, 0g protein = 1 Point
Can berries, chocolate and creamy cool goodness live together peacefully in
one froze-tastic nugget? YES!!!!
Ingredients:
2/3 cup frozen mixed berries
2/3 cup Cool Whip Free; frozen
1 1/2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate chips; crushed
1 1/2 tsp. Coffee-mate powdered creamer, The Original
Directions:
Run berries under water for a few seconds to slightly thaw. Place them in a
blender with the Cool Whip and crushed chips.
Stir Splenda and creamer into 1/3 cup of warm water until completely
dissolved. Add this mixture to blender, and puree ingredients until thoroughly
mixed.
Prepare an ice cube tray by first making sure it is dry, and then spraying the
sections lightly with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute mixture among 12 ice
cube compartments.
Place tray in the freezer until nuggets are frozen (several hours). Once
nuggets are ready, run a little water along the bottom of the tray, and they'll
pop out easily. Enjoy!
MAKES 6 SERVINGS
HG Alternative! Slide toothpicks, Popsicle sticks or carefully cut-up wooden
skewers (minus the pointy part) into each nugget partway through
freezing 'em (once they are firm enough to hold the sticks up straight).
Instead of nuggets, you'll have Choco-Berry Frozen Lollipops!
