Fudgsicle Mousse
Take a no sugar added fudgsicle and scrape it off the stick (microwaving it for about 15 seconds helps). Then add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 1-2 tablespoons of light frozen whipped topping or whipping cream. Mix together and enjoy.
Faux Ice Cream Sandwich
Spread 2 tablespoons whipped topping on each of 12 graham squares. Top with remaining graham squares. Place in a single layer on cookie sheet. Freeze three hours or until firm. Individually wrap; store in freezer for up to one week. Makes 12.
