Low Fat Recipe

Frozen Cranberry Pie
Low Fat Recipe

To soften the ice cream, place it in a chilled bowl and stir with a wooden spoon just until it is soft enough to stir in the remaining ingredients. If the ice cream becomes too soft, the pie will be icy instead of creamy.

Ingredients:
Nonstick spray coating
6 chocolate wafer cookies, finely crushed (about 1/3 cup)
1 quart vanilla low-fat or light ice cream
1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
Sugared cranberries (optional)*

Directions:
Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick coating. Coat with the crushed cookies. Set aside.

In a chilled medium mixing bowl stir the ice cream with a wooden spoon just until softened. Fold in the cranberry sauce and orange peel until combined. Spoon mixture into prepared pie plate. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

To serve, cut into wedges. If desired, garnish with sugared cranberries.

*Note: To make sugared cranberries, roll frozen cranberries in sugar.
