Prep Time:

25 Minutes Start to Finish:

6 Hours 15 Minutes

Whole grain serving: 1⁄4

Ingredients:

Crust

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1⁄2 cup old-fashioned oats

1⁄4 cup finely chopped walnuts

3 tablespoons ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal

2 tablespoons shredded coconut

2 tablespoons whole wheat flour

1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Dash of salt

1 box (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding and pie filling mix

5 fresh strawberries, cut in half, if desired


Directions:

Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix all crust ingredients. Press in bottom and up side of 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.


In large bowl, beat pudding mix and milk with wire whisk until smooth. Gently stir in ice cream with wire whisk until smooth. Stir in chopped strawberries. Pour mixture into cooled crust. Freeze 2 to 3 hours or until firm.


Spread sorbet evenly over ice cream.


Freeze 2 hours.

Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges. Garnish each wedge with strawberry half.


Tip:

You’ll be asked for the recipe for this stunning dessert. Gladly hand it over—coconut, strawberries and sorbet added to flaxseed, whole-grain oats and walnuts is a wonderful combination of flavors and textures.
