Fiber One Cheesecake Ice Cream Sundaes

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fiber One. All opinions regarding Fiber One Cheesecake and all content in this post are 100% mine.

We started back to school this week.  Our schedules are getting fuller and we are going to be busy as ever.  Since it’s only the middle of August, we still have very summertime temperatures.  We are trying to squeeze a little bit of summer in around our other schedules while the weather is still nice.  For me, that means dessert can still be made mostly of ice cream.  YUM.

I love ice cream, but it’s not my only favorite dessert.  Fiber One has a new sweet little snack out: Cheesecake Bars.  That’s right… cheesecake bars.  These sweet treats are only 150 calories with 6 grams fat and each bar contain 5 grams of fiber, which is 20% of your daily value of fiber.  They are available in strawberry and salted caramel flavors.  They are on shelves nationwide at major grocery and retail stores.  I couldn’t resist my cheesecake temptation and came up with a super simple, perfect summer dessert.

CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM SUNDAE
with NEW FIBER ONE CHEESECAKE BARS

Ingredients:
– Vanilla Ice Cream
– Fiber One Cheesecake Bar
– Additional toppings (optional)

Directions:
– Chop a Fiber One Cheesecake Bar into small cubes.
– Put approximately 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream into a bowl and top with the cheese cake dices and any other toppings desired.  I found 1/2 cup ice cream to 1 cheesecake bar to be a good ratio.  Adjust to personal preferences if desired.
– Serve.

Fiber One Cheesecake Bars are the perfect guilt-free take on a decadent dessert and they have the added benefit of fiber.  Perfect for snacking when my raging sweet tooth just won’t quit.

July 30th is National Cheesecake Day, but don’t worry if you missed it.  Fiber One has decided to dedicate an entire month to the delectable dessert. Fiber One is hosting a Fiber One Cheesecake Appreciation Month Sweepstakes on Facebook through August to help everyone participate in the month-long cheesecake celebration.  There will be 1 to 2 winners everyday, plus a grand prize winner.  So, what are you waiting for?  Unleash your cheesecake craving!  Celebrate Fiber One Cheesecake Appreciation Month and use the hashtags #FiberOneCheesecake and #FiberOne #Cheesecake on social media and tag @FiberOne.  Don’t forget to enter the Facebook Sweepstakes too!

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE THIN MINT BROWNIE PIE WHEN IT’S NOT GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON?

I love supporting our local girl scout troops, but I’m the first to admit that $5 a box is a bit steep for my budget.

And at less than half the price, it’s okay to use nearly a whole package in a Thin Mint Brownie Pie and not feel guilty. At least about the cost. The calories might be a different story. But, sometimes you just got have a little bit of heaven.

Because this pie is a little bit of heaven.

Cook Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix
  • Ingredients required for your brownie mix, typically includes: 1 egg, 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup oil. I use 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce to make them a little less oily and unhealthy. But these are triple chocolate brownies... you might not be too concerned about the calories.
  • 1/3 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1 package Thin Mint Cookies

Instructions

Preheat the oven as directed on the back of the brownie mix box.

Mix up the brownies as per the instructions on the back of the box. Substitiute half the oil with applesauce for a less oily brownie.

Pour half the batter into the bottom of a lightly-greased 8-inch pie plate.

Put down a layer of mint cookies.

Pour the chocolate syrup on top of the cookies and spread with a spatula to evenly cover the cookies.

Pour the rest of the batter on top of the syrup and gently shake the pan to level out the batter.

Bake as directed on the brownie box or until a toothpick inserted into the pie comes out clean.

Cool, slice and serve with a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Jello Snickerdoodle Cookies

Prep time:

Total time: 

Serves: Approx 6 dozen

Classic Snickerdoodles with a springtime fruity twist.
Ingredients
  • 3 cups flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • Flavored Gelatin (Jello) - I made 5 different colors/flavors. I used about 1.5 oz for every 8 oz of cookie dough, but I'll explain that more in a minute.

  • Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • Adjust to taste if you prefer
Instructions
  1. Combine butter, sugars, salt, soda and cream of tartar in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
  3. Stir in flour and mix until well combined and dough forms.
  4. Separate the dough into equal balls. This is were I got a little complicated. I made 5 colors and each ball of dough ended up being just barely over 8 oz. Yes, I measured it out on my kitchen scale. You don't have to be as precise, but it will make your flavors more consistent in strength as well as keeping each flavor close to the same number of cookies if you do measure it out. For each 8 oz ball of dough I ended up using 1.5 oz of gelatin powder. You could easily use 1 oz and the flavor would still be strong enough (although the color probably wouldn't be as bright).
  5. Mix the gelatin in to each ball. I just put the dough back in my KitchenAid and mixed it until the gelatin powder was combined with the dough. Then I kneaded the dough by hand to get the color mixed evenly. It didn't take much kneading.
  6. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll the tops in cinnamon sugar topping. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  7. Preheat oven to 300F and bake for 12-15 mins. Mine were perfect at 13 mins.
  8. Remove from oven and cool 2-4 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container.  Yields approximately 6 dozen cookies (I got about 15 cookies of each color, just FYI.)
