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.
