This dessert was a find by me for using up raspberries many years ago. It can be lightened up further, as the points depend greatly on the sugar cookies, butter, and yogurt used. I tend to use real ingredients. Vegan yogurt might be a good option to try with light butter and fat-free yogurt for fewer points.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find some lower-calorie vanilla sugar cookies and there were a lot of points involved in the ones I chose, but I also only used about 7 of them compared to the 18 called for in the recipe.
The image above is a slice of the entire recipe cut into 9 portions and it's sitting on a salad-sized plate, so it's a good size. Cutting the entire batch in 18 portions would halve the points. The whipped cream topping is not included in the points for this recipe, as that depends on your choice for whipped topping.
The lemon and raspberry go so well together. Just make sure you let it sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to soften a tad because "Ice" squares are pretty hard to get through with forks and spoons otherwise.
Ingredients:
1 c. (about 18) crushed lemon-flavored sugar cookies
1/4 c. sugar
3 Tbs. butter
1 c. raspberry-flavored yogurt
1 c. low-fat buttermilk
1/3 c. sugar
2 c. frozen or fresh raspberries
sweetened whipped cream
Instructions:
In small bowl, stir together crushed cookies, 1/4 cup sugar and butter. Press on bottom of 9" square baking pan and set aside.
In medium bowl, stir together remaining ingredients except raspberries and whipped cream. Fold in raspberries. Pour yogurt mixture over cookie crust. Cover and freeze until firm, about 3 to 4 hours.
To serve, let stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into 18 squares (or 9) and garnish with whipped cream.
You can also change up the flavor for this recipe. Use blueberry-flavored yogurt and blueberries or strawberry-flavored yogurt with strawberries. Heck, switch it all up and make it a combo deal, just remember the lemon flavor in the "crust" and choose complimentary flavors.
