While this had good flavor (and didn't taste low fat!) it turned out very hard. Maybe baking at a lower temperature would solve that... -
I made this and filled it with Recipe #93777 for a lite healthy dessert. Thanks for posting Miss Rat. Made for Healthy Choices Tag game. -
This was pretty good. I wouldn't say it tastes exactly the same as the super buttery original version, but it definitely tastes better than the store-bought low fat version. So I'm excited to have a home made alternative. Note: I made it exactly as per the recipe, and it wasn't quite enough to fill my 9" pie pan. It went up the sides, but not up to the very top. Next time I will round up on all the ingredients just a bit.

Great! I will never use regular graham cracker crust again. I replaced the butter with I can't believe it's not butter spray,making it fat free and even lower in calories.

<p>Born and raised in Michigan but feel like a southern gal at heart. My parents were raised in Tennessee. I love it in the south, except the heat and chiggers. LOL Am married and have one spoiled teenage son and a sweet little shaggy humane society rescue named Scotty. Edit/also a little spitfire Pomeranian named Callie. I have worked retail for all my adult life. Edit/early retirement! I am trying to learn to cook and am addicted to ZAAR. I also love doing genealogy. It is so exciting to find new leaves on the family tree. We were always told our ancestors were English and Scottish, but it seems we have more Irish than anything else. We are fortunate enough to have had a gggggggrandfather that kept a diary. A lot of information from the 1700's in his 100 page diary. We were alway told that my Dad's ggrandmother was an American Indian but can't find anything to verify this. (Although we though some looked native american) It's alway's exciting to find long lost relatives. <br />One of my pet peeves is people that think it's OK to Say what I think without consideration for anyone else's feelings.</p>
