   COMPLETELY SUGAR-FREE VERSION: Replace wafers with sugar-free dietetic
   cookies--available in health-food stores or the diet shelf of your
   supermarket. Replace vanilla yogurt with plain low-fat yogurt. Omit sugar;
   increase sugar substitute to equal 12 tablespoons or 3/4 cup. Add 2
   teaspoons vanilla extract to the blender. Follow assembly and baking
   directions in the preceding recipe.
