ibmmanWegmans chocolate cream pie is seductively delicious but is actually a circle of edible death.
Tricksy pies!
I've recently been spending too much time trying to avoid partially hydrogenated oils (also known as the primary source of trans-fatty acids for most people) and then suddenly this pie comes along and destroys all that.I'll have to show them up by making a chocolate cream pie I might be able to actually consider healthy sometime. Overall, so far the most scrumptious desert I've found that can be easily converted into 'health food' is apple crisp- sugar, oats, apples, and some butter. If you use the lightest butter you can find, then per-serving there's hardly any fat, no trans fat, and much of the fat will be unsaturated.
Anyway...

Date: 2009-03-16 03:43 am (UTC)its something like 2 things of no fat cool whip, a thing of light cream cheese, and a box of lemon pudding mix (like the power stuff.
Mix one thing of cool whip with the lemon pudding and cream cheese (it needs to be warmish) until well mixed. Put in pie crust, spread with other thing of cool whip.
Serve chilled. Its delicious and almost fat free.
