Diabetic Friendly Strawberry Shortcake  

Note from Cheri:
This diabetic friendly recipe was given to us by Marilyn Helton, author of our Diabetic Dining on Fabulous Foods column.

Marilyn always says, "A diagnosis of diabetes does NOT have to be a culinary death sentence." And she's got the recipes to prove it. Garnish with a dollop of light non-dairy whipped topping.
