Weight Watchers Banana Cream Pie - 3 Points

Submitted by xpnsve

"Here is an old-fashioned favorite with a new profile: fat free yogurt replaces the traditional cream filling and lime adds zesty flavor. 1/8 of the pie is 3 POINTS. From the Weight Watchers cookbook."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 12 low-fat honey graham crackers, made into crumbs (3 full sheets)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon water
• 4 bananas (thinly sliced on the diagonal)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 ounces unflavored gelatin (or standard size)
• 1⁄2 cup cold water
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups plain fat-free yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• grated lime zest (optional)

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees; spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter and water with a fork.
3. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Bake until firm, 3-5 minutes; cool.
4. In another medium bowl, toss the bananas with the lime juice; reserve 1 cup. Arrange the remaining bananas over the crust.
5. In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water; let stand 2 minutes. Add the sugar; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and the gelatin and sugar dissolve, 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove from the heat; whisk in the yogurt and vanilla.
7. Pour into the pie plate. Arrange the reserved bananas over the pie; sprinkle with lime zest.
8. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, until chilled, 2-3 hours.

I was in charge of our weight watchers birthday pot luck at work and I handed out recipes to everyone. One of my coworkers made this recipe and it was really good. Everyone loved it!
