Just in case you need a reason to avoid becoming an AARP member ...

although ever since I've been 50 it seems almost impossible to do so:

Get Cooking! Recipe Makeover

Strawberry Mousse

Try this low-fat, low-sugar, tasty treat. It only takes about 5 minutes to make and you will also get a boost of calcium and vitamin C.

* 2-8 ounce cups fat-free, sugar free strawberry yogurt
* 1 tub (8 ounces) of sugar free Cool Whip whipped topping
* One pint of fresh strawberries

Mix the yogurt, and Cool Whip in a bowl until well-combined. Slice strawberries. Divide the mousse into 6 dessert cups. Top the cups with the sliced strawberries.

Freeze for one hour, and serve. Serves 6.

This is one of those rare dishes where every single ingredient would be better on its own.

Blech.

LOL Bob...definitely does NOT sound good. Especially the cool whip...ugghh!

Sounds almost as good as the cocktail wienies cooked in Concord grape jelly that Joe Perry mentioned in a post about Maine cooking a while ago.

I only eat one of the three ingredients and I have never seen a pint of strawberries serve 6.

Ah--but you've never had strawberries ruined by Cool Whip.

It's along the lines of the Chinese recipe for stir-fried sea cucumbers that I have. The recipe says it yields 8 Chinese servings or 80 Western servings.

I think "AARP!" is the sound you make after eating something like this.
