Simple Strawberry Mousse Parfaits

Any dessert with Oreos in it is worth trying in my book. The husband and I absolutely love Oreos. So when I saw this recipe, I knew it was one that we would both enjoy.

Simple Strawberry Mousse Parfaits (12 servings at 3 points a piece)

Ingredients:

16 Reduced-fat Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
1 bag (10-1/2 oz.) Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen unsweetened strawberries
1-1/2 cups thawed fat-free whipped topping, divided

Directions:

Cut 6 of the cookies in half cross-wise; reserve for later use. Coarsely crush remaining 10 cookies, and set aside.

Place marshmallows and strawberries in large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on High for 3 minutes, or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after two minutes. Refrigerate 10 minutes. Gently stir in one cup of the whipped topping.

Spoon marshmallow mixture into a rectangular baking dish. Top with the the crushed cookie topping. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. You can top each serving with the remaining 1/2 cup of whipped topping divided evenly, and with one half of a cookie.

If you like, you can also alternate layers of the strawberry mixture and crushed cookie into parfait glasses. I don't have parfait glasses, so that's why I just made this in a rectangular baking dish.

This dessert looked very pretty, and it was very tasty. I really liked the strawberry and marshmallow mixture together. I thought the strawberry flavor was just right, and it didn't overpower the marshmallows or cookies. Also, you really can't go wrong with a dessert made with Oreos :)
