Candy cane Peppermint Pie


Candy cane peppermint pie is a wonderful and very light dessert.  It would be great for the holidays.  I have pasted the original site where you can get the full recipe with fat and calories included.




Candy Cane Peppermint Pie





Original recipe on Hungry Girl site


Start by making the crust.  Use 4 sheets (16 crackers) chocolate graham crackers broken.
Melt 2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread.  Pour butter in cracker crumbs and stir.  Press in a pie pan coated with non stick spray and bake on 400 for 10 minutes until firm.

















One 4-serving box Jell-O Sugar Free Fat Free Vanilla Instant pudding mix with
3/4 cup fat-free milk or low fat almond milk.  I shaved chocolate into the pudding mix.





2 standard-sized peppermint candy canes lightly crushed.  Add 3 cups Cool Whip Free (thawed)






Pour into a bowl and evenly spread filling into the crust. Refrigerate until completely chilled and set, at least 1 1/2 hours.





I toped my candy cane peppermint pie with chocolate shavings and some pecans. You can put a few tsp of crushed candy canes on top. This pie was divine. Hard to believe it is low in calories and fat. See the hungry girl site for exact recipe because I altered mine a little because of what I had in my refrigerator.
