Weight Watcher muffins form the chocolaty crust for this easy no-bake pie. Strawberries are delicious but other berries will work, too.
Ingredients
3 muffin(s) Weight Watchers Double Chocolate Muffin
3 Tbsp water, cold
1/8 oz unflavored gelatin, about 1 1/2 teaspoons
6 oz Weight Watchers Amaretto Cheesecake Yogurt
1 1/2 cup(s) lite whipped topping

1 cup(s) strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
To make the "pie crust," slice each chocolate muffin into thirds. Line a 9-inch pie plate with muffin slices by pressing down gently and evenly until entire bottom of pie plate is completely covered with muffin slices.
Put water in a small microwavable bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let it sit until a sponge is formed, about 2 minutes. Heat in microwave on medium-high power until gelatin melts, about 20 seconds. Stir to ensure gelatin is completely dissolved. If not, continue to microwave 5 seconds at a time until dissolved.
Add yogurt to a medium bowl. Stir in gelatin, then gently fold in whipped topping. Spoon mixture onto chocolate-muffin crust and spread evenly across crust to form pie topping. Arrange strawberries in a single layer across pie topping. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour before slicing and serving. Yields 1 slice per serving.
Notes
For a more decadent treat, combine 2 Weight Watchers Pecan Crowns and 1 tablespoon of fat-free milk in a double-boiler over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until melted. Drizzle dessert sauce over strawberries before refrigerating (could affect POINTS values).

Desserts | Chill out on hot days with this frozen pie. The pretzel crust is a nice salty contrast to the tart lime filling.



Ingredients



2 1/3 oz pretzel(s), miniature twists (about 2 cups)
1 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp light butter, at room temperature
6 oz frozen limeade concentrate, slightly thawed
4 cup(s) light vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 oz tequila, about 3 tbsp
1/2 fl oz orange-flavored liqueur
1 tsp lime zest
Instructions



Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor or blender, process pretzels into crumbs; add sugar and pulse until combined. Add butter and mix well. With machine running, add 2 tablespoons of limeade concentrate; process until well-mixed.


Spoon mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. With back of a spoon, press mixture firmly into bottom and up sides of pan to form a pie shell. Bake until set, about 5 minutes; place in freezer for 10 minutes to cool.


Meanwhile, in a clean food processor or electric mixer, combine ice cream, remaining limeade concentrate, tequila and liqueur; process or mix until just blended. Spoon ice cream mixture into cooled pie shell and sprinkle with lime zest. Freeze for 2 hours before cutting into 8 pieces. Yields 1 slice per serving.
