EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

Choose the brightest, firmest, freshest strawberries that you can find. Strawberries are available all year long but are in season from April to June.

We've called for frozen whipped topping, but you could use fat-free whipped cream topping in an aerosol can instead. Look for it in the dairy section of the grocery store.

My 10 year old granddaughter makes these and everyone loves them. The only difference is we use an egg substitute and heart healthy butter in the recipe. They're light and fluffy and really tasty.
