Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -16 oz container light cool whip
1 - 16 oz container dannon's fit & light strawberry flavored yogurt
1 1/2 large boxes sugar free strawberry jello
20 fresh strawberries for decoration (halved)
FOR OREO COOKIE CRUST:
1 pkg crushed oreo cookies in food processor
1 stick butter, melted
FOR FIBER ONE CRUST:
2 individual bags fiber one coarsly crushed in food processor
1 stick melted butter (+)
2 individual small envelopes splenda sweetner

Steps:

1. In a half sheet pan (17 x 12 x1" deep) mix either crust & pat into pan going up sides of pan also.. Note: I used smaller dishes here for here at home.
2. Mix the cool whip, yogurt, & jello by hand & spread over crust.
3. Place in fridge overnight. Do not cover until tomorrow.
4. NEXT DAY: SCORE THE DESSERT WHERE YOU WILL BE CUTTING IT SO YOU CAN PLACE THE STRAWBERRIES ON.SLICE STRAWBERRIES IN HALF FROM TIP TO TOP, LEAVING LEAVES ON & TOP WITH STRAWBERRY SLICES FOR STRAWBERRY YOGURT. I place it so the tip of strawberry points to a corner.
5. You want it in something that isn't very deep, so you can spatula it out easily so it won't fall apart. It makes a beautiful presentation in a flat pan with all those strawberries in a row. I would make the point of the strawberry point to one corner of the bar, so when it sat on a plate by itself, it looked in diamond shape with a strawberry on top. Very pretty. To me, presentation is everything, along with taste. I wish I had a picture. Oh, I would also save some of the jello granules out & very lightly sprinkle on top of yogurt mixture before putting strawberry on top. I made a day ahead so it could set up good & didn't put strawberry on until ready to serve. But sprinkle jello granules on the day before.
