Submitted by katii

"A sweet, fruity pie that is a wonderful summertime treat. If gluten-free graham cracker crumbs are unavailable, try crumbling any gluten-free cookie. Chocolate makes for a decadent treat, gingersnaps for a spicy twist. Perfect when topped with Recipe #310517!"

I tried this today. I used just regular graham crackers that I crushed. I replaced the 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 cup of Splenda. The rest I follow as directed. Everyone loved it. I was a light & tasty dessert.
