With about two-thirds less fat than the original pie recipe, this makeover is decadently rewarding! You'll love the chocolate, cherries and almonds, but never miss the fat! Ingredients:
1 can (14 ounces) fat-free sweetened condensed milk, divided |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract, divided |
1 frozen pie shell, baked |
1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries, drained |
1 package (8 ounces) fat-free cream cheese |
3/4 cup cold water |
1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix |
2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping |
1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted |
chocolate curls, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan over low heat, cook and stir 1/2 cup milk and chocolate for 4-5 minutes or until the chocolate is melted. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon extract. Pour into pie shell; set aside.
2. Set aside eight whole cherries for garnish. Chop the remaining cherries; set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in water and remaining milk. Add pudding mix and remaining extract; mix well. Fold in whipped topping. Stir in almonds and reserved chopped cherries.
3. Pour over the pie. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. Garnish with whole cherries and chocolate curls if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
