Ingredients
Vegetable oil spray
25 reduced-fat vanilla wafers
14-ounce can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg (do not use unpasteurized egg)
1 to 2 teaspoons grated lime or lemon zest
2/3 cup fresh lime or lemon juice
8 ounces frozen fat-free or light whipped topping, thawed
5 reduced-fat vanilla wafers
Cooking Instructions
Lightly spray a 9-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Arrange the 25 cookies in a single layer in the pan. (There will be spaces between the cookies.)
Pour the milk and egg substitute into a medium bowl. Add the lime zest and lime juice. Stir for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken. Fold in the whipped topping. Pour over the cookies in the baking pan.
Crumble the remaining 5 cookies over the filling. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the freezer for about 4 hours, or until frozen.
To serve, let thaw for 4 to 5 minutes, or just until the bars are cuttable. Cut into 15 bars.
