Minnie is back and she brings us yet another spaghetti squash dessert! Yes, Minnie is just slightly addicted to Spaghetti Squash Recipes!
Minnie Says: I made this again today and we had it for dessert tonight—it is majorly yummy, especially with a dollop of fat free Cool Whip on top. We both said we could eat the whole thing tonight! It is way lower in calories—but not if you go crazy and eat it all at one time! LOL!
This is an absolutely delicious dessert topped with a bit of fat free Cool Whip or fat free Reddi-Wip.

I'm so sorry, but I just can't wrap my mind or my taste buds around this recipe. I have an issue with mixing veggies or fruits with other types of food.
