Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed reduced-fat cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (about 10 cookies)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pitted dark sweet cherries
  • 2 cups black cherry-vanilla swirl frozen yogurt blend
  • 3 cups reduced-fat chocolate ice cream, softened
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup reduced-fat whipped topping
  • 12 mint sprigs

Directions

Cover and freeze for 30 minutes. Spread ice cream over cherries; cover and freeze for 2 hours or until firm.
  • For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and reserved cherry syrup until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and whole cherries.

I made this as a fund raiser for our church and it was well recieved. I had a little left over when I made a double recipe and froze it for our recent road trip in the motor home and wow was it great!! (Leftovers were put into a loafe pan, and it made 4 servings). I'll make this again and again, and make sure I have one in the freezer at all times. Probably would last a month or so in the freezer if wrapped tight.
