Whoo Hoo! It's time for Summer frozen treats! I've said before, I'm not master of the kitchen. However, I will full heartedly bust it out (if it appears easy enough), especially if it involves nummy-ness, like Oreos, Strawberries, and Whipped Topping... Over the weekend, I had the chance to try making the Strawberry Whipped Sensation that I was
drooling over awhile back.
OMG kids, its sooo good. But first, I must preface, I had to do a little... improvising. The recipe called for a 9x 5 inch loaf pan. Um... didn't have one. So while at the store I picked up two smaller loaf pans (the same kind/size that those Sarah Lee Pound cake ones come in.) And then the recipe called for 8 oreo cookie sandwiches. At the store, they only had the large pack, which just seemed waay too many Oreos... So I just picked up the smaller "snack pack" which had the mini-oreos. This was probably my downfall from perfection because I had to guesstimate how many mini-oreos make up one big Oreo?... I also cheated a little and bought a pack of frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones (I did buy one pack of fresh strawberries for garnish, but I figured the inside mixture ones would be mashed up anyways- plus they were cheaper).
For the crust part, well, I think I put in too many little oreos because combined with the suggested 1 teaspoon of butter, didn't really hold up as well and was a little too crumbly.
Long story short- I put it all together, divided it into two pans, and froze it all. Even though it was a little crumbly on the bottom, it was still delicious.
It tasted like strawberry ice cream!- I think the combination of the CoolWhip and condensed milk does the trick. I finished off the first part, (on the blue plate)- the second half of it I put on a white plate, looks more
like the picture dontcha think? That was gone pretty much as soon as I took it out of the freezer the next day.
(this is a shot of the second one the next day)
Anyway- highly recommend this receipe and think it could spawn some fun and yummy variations... did anyone else try it yet?
(shot of the second one like, 5 minutes later...)
Here's the link again to the
original recipe.
So, basically, throw in your ice, make some snow, 
add some fresh cut fruit (mangoes and kiwis were the fruit of choice this time)
and a little (or a lot, hehe) of condensed milk (key ingredient), and voila. Sweet instant icy cool down... 
I'd say it's healthy, with the snow, and fresh fruit, but the sweet condensed milk kinda kills that theory. (um.. but milk is good for you right? ;-)) anyway- this isn't the same as the rainbow color sno-cone syrup version (that seems to only be delicious when I'm in Hawaii), but rather, I guess this would be the Taiwanese version- just as tasty, and always hits the spot.
