Family Secret Recipe Using Reddi-wip®

When chosen to write a review on Reddi-wip® and berries I was anxiously looking for a recipe to try.  I thought it would be fun to create a breakfast, rather than a dessert.  Then, my story was going to include how we have had Reddi-wip® to eat with fruit, brownies and cookies at family gatherings, outdoor picnics to be precise.  Inevitably this has resulted in a “who is the best shot” competition with many eager volunteers to be the target.  What could be more fun than standing there trying to catch a squirt of Reddi-wip® in your mouth?  Not much and apparently my entire family has adopted this sporting event.

You too may wish to join in some Reddi-wip® fun by entering the #BerryJoyfulSweeps Sweepstakes.  You do not have to shoot, aim or catch Reddi-wip® in your mouth or anywhere else.  Now through July 7, 2014, you can share your everyday Reddi-wip® berry-licious moments on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using the #BerryJoyfulSweeps hashtag for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2015 Watsonville Strawberry Festival, Reddi-wip® coupons or berry keepers.

Along with desserts, breakfasts and games Reddi-wip® is now being added to one of our family traditions making it easier than ever to make and share.  Before this family secret recipe for this delicious Reddi-wip® and berries creation is divulged, let me give you a bit of history.

It is a dessert tradition started by Great Grandma Anna and Grandma Inga, both from Norway, and was served at Christmastime.  The children and grandchildren have continued with this creation adding it to the Christmas cookie and dessert table.  In her broken English, Grandma Anna called it “Katalani”.  The family is not really sure how to spell it.  I’m sure she made it with freshly whipped whipping cream, baked biscuits and fresh picked lingonberries, but through the generations the recipe has been simplified.  Reddi-wip® makes it easier than ever to bring the joy of real dairy cream, never hydrogenated oils, to berry creations such as our secret family recipe here.  By the way, each serving of Original, Extra Creamy and Chocolate Reddi-wip® has only 15 calories and each serving of Fat-Fee Reddi-wip® is only five calories.

What you'll need.
  Now, for the recipe; You will need 1 cup milk, 2-3 packages of ladyfinger cookies, 1 jar of  lingonberries, one container of frozen whipped topping (thawed) and 1 can of Reddi-wip® Original, Extra Creamy or Fat Free and a decorative glass bowl, because it sure looks pretty when complete!

  The process is simple.  Dip a ladyfinger cookie (on at a time) in milk and let soak for a few seconds  until absorbed with milk yet, still stiff enough to  move easily.  Place them flat in the bottom of the   bowl and  vertically around the sides forming a layer.  
First Layer

Spread the container of thawed whipped topping over the cookies to form a second layer.  
Second Layer
Spoon ½ the jar of lingonberries over the topping forming the third layer.  Repeat with ladyfingers and lingonberries.  (*Reserve a spoonful of lingonberries for a dollop in the center of the Reddi-wip® for decoration.)  
Third Layer and Repeat

Lastly, squirt Reddi-wip® over the final layer of ladyfingers and put your reserved dollop of berries in the center.  
Ready for Reddi-Wip
Refrigerate.  You may also add a few blueberries for a “red, white and blue” holiday dessert.  Use a big spoon to dip into this delicious bowl of scrumptious Reddi-wip® and berry-licious moment.

There you have it, a family secret recipe.
