As you probably noticed, I recommend using the traditional ready made graham cracker crust instead of the reduced fat variety. I have found that the reduced fat versions typically seem to be higher in carbohydrates with a nominal difference in fat. In this instance, it means a 2 point difference in each serving of pie.
Slicing into 10 smaller portions instead of the traditional 8 is another trick for making a bit healthier choice at dessert time. With the creaminess of this pie, you'll forget that it is lower in fat and sugar! It makes a perfect side to enjoy for your Easter dinner this year!

Mine didn't turn out right (it was still tasty though). Do you have to let the jello/water/milk mixture partially cool before pouring it over the whipped topping covered graham crust? Mine was kind of a soupy mess. It kind of ended up a jello consistency - not creamy like the picture. Also, the lining of whipped topping i put on the crust just dissolved when i poured the liquid in the pie crust. Can you clarify? I do think its a good idea & can satisfy a sweet craving but i'd like to improve my technique.
