Category: Pies - Cream and Custard

Ingredients:
1 prepared Keebler reduced fat graham cracker crust
1/3 cup fat free sweetened condensed milk
3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
1/3 cups chopped pecans toasted, (To do this, place in a 300 degree oven for about 5-10 minutes until very lightly browned. Do not over brown. Take out and let cool until ready to use.)
1 3/4 cups skim milk
2 packages sugar free instant chocolate pudding mix
1 8 ounce Cool whip free
1 tsp vanilla extract
A couple of pecans for decoration, optional
Shaved chocolate for decoration, optional

Directions:
In a small saucepan, place the sweetened condensed milk along with the 2 tbsp chocolate chips over low heat. Stir just until the chocolate melts into the milk. Take off the heat. Let cool a few minutes then pour into prepared crust.

Sprinkle the nuts over the mixture and place in fridge for about 10 to 15 minutes.

In the meantime, In a large mixing bowl add the skim milk along with the two boxes of pudding mix. Beat with a wire whisk until thick. This takes about 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix gently.

Spoon about a cup of the pudding over the pecans. Spread evenly. Set back in fridge until your next layer is ready.

Stir half of the Cool Whip into the remaining pudding. Mix gently. Now take out the pie again and place this layer over the last. Spread evenly.
Take the remaining Cool whip and spread over the top of the pie and you can now make a pretty design or just smooth nicely.

Place in fridge for at least 3 hours and then garnish as desired.
