Low-Cal Recipes

[socal78]

This is a pie recipe I've made for years. It is the easiest no-bake pie ever created. It's very light, like a mousse. What I like about it is you can switch out the flavors of Jello & yogurt to make any other kind of pie you want (Strawberry, lemon, orange, etc.) If you can't find the matching flavor yogurt to the Jello, use vanilla yogurt. The original uses all low-fat and sugar-free ingredients. However, being me, I converted it to full sugar, regular ingredients. I will post both versions.

Tilt Parfaits - LINK. I make them in wine glasses. I like making these because I'm a huge Jell-o fan (read: loser). The possibilities are endless. Not many calories!!
