Preparation time: 12 minutes

4 squares graham crackers
1 cup frozen strawberries, thawed
1 cup fat-free whipped topping, thawed
Assemble four plastic 6-ounce serving cups with resealable lids. Crumble a graham cracker square (with fingers or a utensil) in the bottom of each cup. Place the defrosted strawberries in a small mixing bowl. Add the whipped topping and stir until creamy and smooth. Divide the strawberries and cream mixture evenly among the four serving cups (there should be about 1/2 cup mixture per container). Cover with lids and chill until serving time. This recipe may be prepared the day before.
