No one will ever guess this creamy, refreshing pie is low in fat and sugar, reveals Eileen Crowley of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Ingredients:
1 cup reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs (about 5 whole crackers) |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 package (.8 ounce) sugar-free cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix |
2 cups water, divided |
1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free lemon gelatin |
1 can (8-1/4 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, well drained |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed |
sliced lemon, strawberries and fresh mint, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or lightly browned; cool on a wire rack.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine dry pudding mix and 1-1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened; cool.
3. In another large saucepan, bring remaining water to a boil. Add gelatin powder; stir to dissolve. Stir into pudding mixture. Add pineapple; cool completely.
4. Fold in whipped topping; pour into crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Garnish with lemon, strawberries and mint if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
