With all the baking I do, I try to get my share of chicken and veggys. But, I always add, Diet Pie.
I got this recipe from Weight Watchers years ago. But you don't have to be on a diet to enjoy this
pie. It's light and refreshing and perfect for anytime. Even for company!
The original recipe calls for a low fat graham cracker crust, but I add an extra WW point (per piece) and use a chocolate crust. It was also for a lime pie but I mix it up. Strawberry, raspberry, orange, what ever my mood desires. I call it strawberry cream pie because I was to lazy to completely incorporate the cool whip into the yogurt mixture. Beside the fact, I kind of like the cream spots.
So without further adu, I give to you my version, of Diet Pie.
Diet Pie
from: Weight Watchers
Ingredients:
1 prepared low fat graham cracker crust (I just use regular choclate crust)
1/4 cup boiling water
1 pkg (4 serving size) sugar free strawberry jello (or any flavor)
2 containers strawberry yogurt (or any flavor to match jello)
1 container cool whip
Dissolve jello in boiling water. Add yogurt. Mix well. Fold in Cool whip.
Pour into prepared pie crust. Chill 2 hours.
In Weight Watcher talk- 3 points for 1/8 piece of pie.
In Megan's Cookin talk-4 points for 1/8 piece of pie.

ReplyDeleteI have a very similar recipe I got off of All Recipes a long time ago. My mom loved it so much, I think I made it four times one summer (and that's alot because I usually try new recipes).
ReplyDeleteThat pie looks GORGEOUS! I wouldn't even think "diet" looking at it, it just looks like a good pie overall! Love that you're challenging the idea of "diet food"...and just making good food, that happens to be lower in fat / etc!
