Directions
Slimmed-Down Chocolate Cream Pie, This is a lightened version of chocolate cream pie Recipe is from Woman’s Day Prep time does not include chilling time for finished pie , I haven’t had real pie (with a crust) in years and when I came across this trimmed version of a rich cream pie I just had to try it It delivers a deep dark chocolate gratification with all of that regret that we get when we really splurge on a full fat and sugar indulgence Not only is the fat cut way back but used Splenda for the sugar and it worked perfectly Some Cool Whip Light and a light sprinkle of chocolate jimmies to top it off were plenty of extras I’m feeling very virtuous (and pleased) right now The recipe is a snap to follow and I even took a short cut but melting the 2 oz’s of chocolate in the heating milk in the first step The crust was ready to pack into the pan in less than a min Thank you Lainey, thank you!
