How to Make a Low Calorie Mousse Pie

There are countless ways to turn a common dessert into a more healthy snack. Mousse pie is one of those treats that normally could be high in calories. However, with just a few tweaks, you can turn this into a low calorie alternative. Here is how to make a low calorie mousse pie.

Things You'll Need

• 2 packages of fat-free sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
• 2 cup of fat free milk
• 1 tub of sugar-free whipped topping
• 1 low fat/sugar free graham cracker crust

Instructions

1. Whip the 2 packages of chocolate pudding with the 2 cups of fat free milk until the substance begins to stiffen up.

2. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding and milk mixture one spoon-full at a time. Do so gently so that the substance keeps a light texture. Reserve roughly one third of the tub of whipped topping.

3. Place the pudding mixture in the graham cracker crust. Spread the mixture evenly over the crust so that the entire crust is full with the mixture.

4. Spread the remaining whipped topping on top of the pie. Refrigerate for at least one hour so that the pie sets.

Tips & Warnings

• You could substitute a chocolate crust for a more rich taste. However, this could increase the fat or calories of the dessert.

• Add shavings of a high quality dark chocolate to the top of the dessert if you desire. Dark chocolate is a healthier alternative to milk chocolate. Once again, the dessert will have less calories without either of these.
