Peppermint Pie

Peppermint Pie is a very light dessert that is great any time of the year. 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.




Peppermint Pie





Hungry Girl peppermint pie recipe





Start by making the crust for the peppermint pie by using 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 the peppermint pie until completely chilled and set, at least 1 1/2 hours.





I topped my 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.

Pecan Pie

Pecan pie is wonderfully sweet pie and everyone loves it.


Pecan Pie



Mix 3 eggs and 2/3 cup of sugar.


  Add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup butter, and 1cup light or dark Karol  syrup.






Mix together than add 2cups pecan halves.




Put in unbaked pie crust.






Bake the pecan pie at 360º for 40-50 minutes or until done in the middle.
One way to test if the pecan pie is done is to insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean the pie is done.
