Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, confectioners sugar, and melted reduced-calorie margarine until a crumbly mixture forms.
  3. Press the flour mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat together the light cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of the light whipped topping, and any remaining sugar until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the reduced-calorie chocolate pudding mix, skim or 1% milk, and 1/2 cup of water until smooth.
  9. Carefully spoon the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently to cover.
  10. Top the pudding layer with the remaining light whipped topping.
  11. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set before serving.
  12. Slice and serve chilled.
