This won't be baking related so I apologize in advance but your mention of sugar free cool whip made me think of a diabetic friendly dessert that might work for you as well.You're welcome!
Oooh, that sounds good!This won't be baking related so I apologize in advance but your mention of sugar free cool whip made me think of a diabetic friendly dessert that might work for you as well.
Take a regular size package of jello mix (I use orange because the end result tastes a lot like orange dreamsickles of my childhood) and a tub of sugar free cool whip left in the fridge to soften.
Heat up 2/3 a cup of water to boil and mix with the jello mix in a bowl.
Add 1 cup of cold water and mix in with the hot water and jello mix after the jello mix has dissolved.
Add the tub of sugar free cool whip and lightly whisk for a couple minutes.
Place in the fridge for a few hours so it can set.
You could use cherry or strawberry or any other sugar free jello that you like. I just use the orange because its a nice orange/vanilla flavor. Hope this might be of use to you and, if not, maybe others. I really enjoy it as a safe dessert when my sweet tooth flares up.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but what's the difference between whipped and regular shortbread?
My various shortbread cookies melt in your mouth already. I'm puzzled. Thanks.
Very interesting. Appreciate the knowledge.I didn't know until recently. The whipped recipe uses confectioners' sugar vs. granulated and has the addition of cornstarch. I never tried whipped until this year. My end result came out like a clone of the Royal Dansk cookies that come in the blue tin. They also seem to hold their shape better than my traditional recipe (borrowed from Ina Garten) that uses granulated sugar and no cornstarch.

Are those using the peppermint candies that literally melt in your mouth. I love those but do not like traditional peppermint hard candies.
They are crushed mini candy canes so regular but I’m sure you could use the others.Are those using the peppermint candies that literally melt in your mouth. I love those but do not like traditional peppermint hard candies.
I'll be doing that tomorrow.
That looks delicious!
