This is the third of three diabetic dessert recipes for all you chocoholics out there. This one tastes much naughtier than it really is.

Chocolate Whipped Cream Pie

Crust:
2 tbsp butter melted
30 vanilla wafers 1¾ inches in diameter
¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
Filling:
1½ ounces sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups skimmed milk
1½ cups frozen whipped topping

Grease the inside, bottom and sides of a 9” (23cm) pie dish with 1 teaspoonful of the butter.

Crush wafers into very fine crumbs - you should get about 1½ cups of crumbs. Transfer them into a large bowl.

Get the frozen topping out and leave to defrost.

Mix the vanilla extract with the butter, pour into the crumbs and mix thoroughly with a fork.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture and pack the rest into the pie dish, pressing with the back of a spoon so that the sides and bottom of the dish are evenly coated. Chill in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Prepare pudding according to directions on pack using the skimmed milk. Allow to cool for half an hour.

Spoon pudding carefully into the chilled pie shell and return to the refrigerator until the pudding is firm. Spread whipped topping gently across top of pie with a small spatula. Scatter the reserved crumb mixture on top as a garnish.

Serving size: 1/6 pie. Exchanges per serving: 1½ Fat, 1 Starch, ½ Skimmed milk.
