Not a fan! Sry... it's just has too much twang and not enough zing. In defence of the pie - I am used to full fat, silky smooth and yummy chocolate mouse type pies.Reply

No fair!!! Only 5 stars? This deserves 10!!! So smooth and rich it is hard to believe it is so low in fat and sugar. The buttermilk gives it a nice zing. I used low-fat buttermilk and sugar-free Cool whip. I topped it with roasted almond slices. The filling would be great as a mousse without the crust. Thanks for an elegant, yet healthy dessert! Made for My-3-Chefs 2008.Reply
