DIETITIAN'S NOTE:

This recipe can be lightened without adding any extra work. Use one of the "lite" or sugar free whipped topping mixes and use 1/4 cup sugar and 9 packets Sweet One sugar substitute.

Sweet One is a new low calorie sweetener on the market. Unlike other sugar substitutes Sweet One is heat stable so you can cook and bake with it without producing bitter results.
