Recipe: Fluffy Grasshopper Pie (low fat)

Fluffy Grasshopper Pie

3-ounce package lime flavored gelatin
2/3 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
ice cubes
2 tablespoons green cr me de menthe liqueur
2 tablespoons white cr me de cacao liqueur
3-1/2 cups non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
9-inch prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust, cooled

Completely dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Combine water and ice to make 1-1/4 cups. Add to gelatin, stir until slightly thickened. Remove any un-melted ice. Fold liqueurs into whipped topping. Use wire whisk to blend whipped topping into gelatin. Whip until smooth. Chill until mixture mounds. Spoon into crust. Chill for about 2 hours. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

On the Lighter Side

Substitute sugar free gelatin for regular, use 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract instead of the liqueurs, use low fat or fat free whipped topping and omit the crust.
