Creamsicle & Lemony Parfaits

These 2 recipes are a tweak of the Faux Key-Lime Pie recipe sent out a while ago. This time I decided to put one in a little dessert dish and the other in a parfait glass....just for something different.  These are both so light and kind of fluffy-ish and so incredibly delicious and refreshing!!! I can see them being served as I'm showing below....or with a slice of lemon or orange.....or plain. You'll like them however you serve them. You could even put them in a pie plate like the Faux Key-Lime Pie.

CREAMSICLE   PARFAIT   &   LEMONY   PARFAIT
Each makes 4 Servings
1 Serving = 3 PointsPlus™

First up: Creamsicle Parfait

1 package sugar-free orange jello
1/2 cup boiling water
1 (8 oz.) package fat-free cream cheese, softened
1 TBSP fresh orange juice
1 tsp grated orange peel
2 measuring cups (NOT 16 ounces) fat-free whipped topping

Dissolve jello in boiling water.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add jello until well combined.
Stir in orange juice and peel. Fold in whipped topping.
Pour into dessert/parfait glass and chill @ 3 hours.

Next up: Lemony Parfait
Use the same as above but substitute lemon for the orange! How easy is that!

Now for the 'legal mumbo-jumbo' to keep me out of court!! *** The PointsPlus™ value for this recipe was calculated by me (Jan Gomes) and is not an endorsement or approval of this recipe by Weight Watchers International, Inc., the owner of the PointsPlus™ registered trademark. ***

Later!
Loving Life(time)!
