Chocolate Pie

I like this pie. Each slice has only 110 calories and 2 grams of fat. It serves 8, and it is low in sugar as well. Yippee!

Crust

10 whole graham crackers

1 egg white

1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, grind graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add egg white, pulse to combine. Stir in melted butter. Press mixture evenly into a 9-inch pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes until slightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Filling

2 packages sugar-free, reduced-fat chocolate pudding mix (4-serving size package, not instant)

1/2 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt

Make pudding according to package directions, but use 3 1/2 cups skim milk instead of whole or 2%. Fold in yogurt. Spread mixture over crust and refrigerate for about 3 hours until firm. Serve with 1 Tbsp fat-free whipped topping per slice.

Through my own experience with this pie, I find that the graham cracker crust requires a bit more liquid than what&#039s listed, so I tend to end up using a bit more butter. I suppose that if I had a blender and could really chop the crackers up more finely, that might not be a problem, but oh well. Also, the directions make much more chocolate than can fit into the pie crust. Eat it. It&#039s low-fat, low-sugar, low-calorie chocolate pudding! If you&#039re creative, you can probably come up with other uses for the filling than just pie, but I&#039ve never experimented with it. One way or another, enjoy!
