Made In America

America's birthday is tomorrow.  You may be celebrating with family or friends.  You may need a last minute, easy, dessert idea.  Here I am to save you!  Below are two very simple, quick, dessert ideas...enjoy!

Ingredients for the first dessert:
  • 1 package softened low fat cream cheese
  • 1 small package of fat free cool whip
  • 1 premade graham cracker pie crust
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries

  • 2 Tbsp sugar
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip.  Once mixed well, fill the pie crust, top with fruit.  Refrigerate until served.  Easy, right?  I hate to say I told you so.

Not a fan of cream cheese?  Okay, then try this alternative.  You'll need:

  • 1 package instant pudding (I typically use vanilla or banana cream).  You'll need milk for this as well.
  • 1 small package of fat free cool whip
  • 1 premade graham cracker pie crust
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries


  • Following the directions on the pudding, make the pudding.  This usually involves whisking some milk and pudding powder together in a bowl.  This should take 5 minutes tops!

    Add the pudding to your pie crust.  Top with cool whip, and then top with fruit!  Done!  Refrigerate until served.

    Happy 4th of July to all of you!
