Ingredients

  • 1½ cups light whipped topping (like a reduced-calorie whipped cream)
  • ¾ cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup sugar-free marshmallow fluff or whipped cream cheese
  • 1 tsp cotton candy or vanilla extract
  • A few drops of pink or blue food coloring (optional, for carnival flair)
  • 2 tbsp crushed light candy pieces (such as sugar-free hard candies or light chocolate-covered crispies)
  • Optional: sprinkles or more crushed candy for garnish

Instructions

1. Blend the Base
In a medium bowl, gently fold together whipped topping, Greek yogurt, marshmallow fluff, and extract until smooth. If using food coloring, add it now and stir just until swirled in for a playful look.

2. Add the Crunch
Fold in crushed candy pieces carefully so they stay intact and add texture to each bite.

3. Freeze the Fantasy
Spoon the mixture into a loaf pan or individual silicone molds. Smooth the top and sprinkle with more crushed candy or sprinkles if desired.

4. Let It Chill
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. When ready to serve, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier scooping or slicing.
