Last of December's Sweets

We're going to start off this week's recipes with one from the Nov/Dec 1998 issue of Quick Cooking magazine. It's a quick and easy way to get the taste of Christmas all year 'round.

• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon rum extract

Our next recipe is one from this year's Nov/Dec Quick Cooking. I don't usually like raspberries, but the picture of this dessert looks so good, I just may try it.

Chocolate Raspberry Dessert

• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 3/4 cup skim milk
• 1/3 cup raspberry spreadable fruit
• 1 package (1.4 oz) instant sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
• 1 carton (8 oz) light frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 square (1 oz) semisweet chocolate, melted
• 1/2 cup unsweetened raspberries

In a blender, combine cottage cheese, milk and spreadable fruit. Cover and process until smooth. Add pudding mix and mix well. Pour into a bowl. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into a 9-inch pie plate. Drizzle with chocolate. Cover and freeze 8 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. Garnish with raspberries. (8 servings)

That's gonna be it for this week. Haven't decided on a theme for next month yet, but I'm thinking about just doing a mixture of different types of recipes each week. Any ideas? Let me know. Until then.....

Thought for the Day: Ask not for whom the bell tolls...let the answering machine get it.
