I just found a recipe for oreo dirt cake and I thought about redoing the recipe to make it lower in fat. Has anyone tried it before with this recipe and had it turn out good?
Here is the original recipe:
1 32 oz pckg Oreo cookies (maybe use the lite version)
1 8 oz pckg cream cheese (maybe use the lite version, not ff)
1 c powdered sugar
1 stick butter (maybe use the lite version or ff since its not being baked with)
2 sm pckg vanilla pudding (maybe use the sf/ff version)
3 1/2 cups milk
1 12 oz container cool whip (maybe use either the lite or ff)
In blender grind oreo cookies and set aside.
In a bowl, cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar and butter. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix vanilla pudding, milk, and fold in cool whip. Fold in the cream cheese mixture.
In a container, such as flower pot, place the cool whip mixture on the bottom, add the cookies, then cool whip mixture, then cookies, and keep alternating the layers. Refrigerate 24 hours before serving. Makes 8 servings. Garnish with gummy worms.
yes, they freeze well. I want to make this recipe this weekend. Has anyone tried it? I'm on a chocolate-kick right now! I'll have to figure out the points after I buy the ingredients.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 can lite cherry pie filling
1/2 cup water.
Spray muffin liners with Pam or they'll stick. Fill liners with batter and bake according to box directions. Sometimes it takes a little longer to bake, just keep checking (I've burnt them before...yuck). The points depend on how many you make. Take the total calories, fat, fiber for the box of cake and the cherries and divide by how many muffins you made to get the points. They should be 2-3, depending on how big. You'll love them, they're yummy
I made this for a graduation party and 4 people asked for the recipe...they didn't realize it was low-fat!
1 chocolate cake mix
1 can diet pepsi
Mix these together and pour into a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 25 min. Cool. Poke holes in the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.
2 cartons (individual pre-packaged cups) of Fat-free chocolate pudding
Spread this over the cake and top with fat-free cool-whip. Then crush a Slim-fast Peanut Butter Crunch bar over the top. Cut cake into 18 pieces, 3 points ea.
1 - can pumpkin
1/2 - cup water
1 - box chocolate cake mix
Mix pumpkin & water in bowl, add cake mix and mix well.
Divide into 24 muffin cups. (I made 12 large ones instead)
Bake according to cake mix.
After these were baked & cooled, I wrapped them individually in saran wrap & they kept for a long time in fridge. Also they freeze well.
Nice chocolately treat. 2 points for the small ones.
1 Box of Low Fat Honey Maid Honey Graham Crackers
1 Tub of Fat Free Cool Whip
1 sheet of graham crackers, (4 squares), but only break in half.
Put a dab of the fat free cool whip on one side & put the other half on top to make a sandwich. Freeze & Serve.
1 Graham Cracker Treat is 1 point
I usually make 1 package of the graham crackers at a time & keep them in the freezer in a ziploc. Excellent 1 point snack!!
This is simple, sweet, fast, filling and low points...
1 low fat graham cracker .5pt
Fat-free cream cheese .5 pt
Lite Cherry Pie filling .5 pt
Spread the cream cheese on the cracker and top with the pie filing. I sometimes top it off with cool whip free. It's kinda like cheese cake for only 1.5 points!
Swiss Chocolate Roll (this shows how long I have dealt with weight issues!)
Cake:
1 pkt. Alba choc. milkshake mix
3 pkts. sweetner
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 banana, mashed
1 egg or 1/4 cup egg sub
1 tsp. vanilla
1 bread, crumbed or 3 Tbsp. flour
Blend dry ingredients; stir in banana, egg, vanilla. Spread on nonstick spray treated pan (square shape works best). Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. While hot turn onto foil or wax paper, spread with filling, roll into roll and cool.
Filling:
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
sweetner to taste (I would use nutrasweet or splenda)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix and set aside.
If you use reduced calorie bread (2 slices crumbed)
and fat-free ricotta cheese count as follows:
Or you can mix 2 Tbls of raspberry preserves, (I've also used blackberry) and 1 tsp of almond extract in 8 oz of cool whip. Using a package of chocolate grahams, frost between each one and then lay in a dish and frost like a cake (hope this makes sense)...refirgerate at least 24 hours...makes 12, 1-point servings...of course we cut into into 4, 3-point servings!
