Recipe: Lite Frozen Chocolate Cheesecake Pie (blender or food processor, freeze ahead)

LITE FROZEN CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE PIE

"A sweet, rich, creamy cocoa-cheesecake flavored filling is mixed in a blender or food processor and poured into a convenient store-bought chocolate cookie crumb crust. Serve straight from the freezer for an ice cream bar texture. Or, microwave for 15 seconds for a consistency closer to a chilled mousse."



1/2 cup Karo Lite Corn Syrup
1/2 cup fat free half and half
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons sucralose sweetener
1 tablespoon sugar
1 (8 ounce) package fat free cream cheese, softened, cut into cubes
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (4 ounces) reduced calorie whipped topping, thawed
1 (9-inch) chocolate cookie crumb crust
Additional whipped topping and cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Heat corn syrup and half and half in a microwave-safe container for 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips and heat for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Pour mixture into blender or food processor; add cocoa, sucralose, sugar, cream cheese and vanilla. Blend on medium speed in blender until very smooth. Add whipped topping and mix until uniformly blended. Pour into crust.
Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours.

Remove from freezer and thaw for 15 to 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional whipped topping and cocoa powder, if desired

Recipe Tip: For a Mocha Pie stir 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules into the Karo Lite Syrup mixture before it is microwaved.
