I served this for dessert for a dinner for our family and it was a big hit. Since my hubby and I are on South Beach, I used EggBeaters for half the eggs in the crust with excellent results. I also used fat free/sugar free pudding, light cream cheese and Cool Whip light to help cut the sugar and calories. It was wonderful (even if still sinful for South Beach, but hey, you have to cheat sometimes) and very easy to prepare. The directions were right on. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting
