2 cups cool whip

From Nutritionist: The sugar in the pies is not recommended for diabetics. The pies are considered in the carbohydrate category and should be counted as such. For a complete menu: The dessert can be served with vegetable soup that has ground beef. The soup would provide the vitamins and minerals needed. The ground beef would provide the protein needed for a well balanced meal. Remember any leftovers can be placed in air-tight storage containers. They may be saved for a rainy/busy day meal or taken to shut-ins. Happy remembering Ireland Day!
