Sweetie-Fry Bananas with Cream Cheese Frosting

By doran65

Who's hungry for dessert?! This rockin' recipe from the first-ever HG cookbook is too good for words. It resides in the Fruity Call chapter -- not a bad place to be, with neighbors like Fiesta Tropical Fruit Salsa!

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp. Cool Whip Free, thawed
• 2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated), divided
• 1 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine Cool Whip, 1 tbsp. Splenda, and cream cheese. Stir until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

In a food processor or blender, combine cereal, cinnamon, salt, and the remaining tablespoon of Splenda, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Cut banana in half widthwise and then lengthwise, so you have four pieces. Spray both sides of each piece with nonstick spray. Roll each piece in the crumb mixture to coat.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add banana pieces and cook until outsides are crispy, 3 - 4 minutes per side.

Serve with chilled cream cheese frosting and eat up!
