Frozen Lemonade Squares

Yields: 9 squares | 3 points per square


My rating:

Looking for the perfect summer treat? Try a serving of this cool, lemony dessert. And it's SO easy to make! My mom found this online and I helped to make it more points-friendly. For a more tart and tangy flavor you can double the frozen lemonaid concentrate (Adds 1 point per serving). Enjoy!!

Ingredients:

  • 20 Honey Graham Crackers (low-fat or regular) (5 whole sheets), finely crushed (about 1 cup crumbs) *
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat margarine or butter, melted *
  • 1 qt. (4 cups) frozen vanilla yogurt, softened
  • 1 (6-oz) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed *

    * Using the recipe's original 36 graham crackers (9 whole sheets, or "18 squares" as they put it") + 1/3 cup margerine (using reduced fat) will add 1 point per square.

    * Also note that using regular graham crackers instead of low-fat will not alter the points value enough to matter.

    * Using a 12-oz can of frozen lemonaid concentrate (instead of 6-oz) will make the dessert a lot more tart and tangy, and will add 1 point per square.

    Optional Toppings (These do not alter points but really are not neccessary either):

  • 1/2 cup thawed fat-free whipped topping
  • Mint sprigs and lemon slices

Directions:

  • Mix crumbs and margarine. (A large ziplock bag works great for crushing the crackers into crumbs!) Press firmly onto bottom of 8 or 9-inch square pan.
  • Beat frozen yogurt and lemonade concentrate in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Spread over crust.
  • Freeze 4 hours or until firm. Cut into squares.

Optional: Serve each square topped with a dollop (1 Tb) of whipped topping, mint sprigs and lemon slices, if desired. (These do not alter points but really are not neccessary either)

Yields: 9 squares
