Ingredients

• 4 ounces German's sweet chocolate
• 1 cup Low-fat evaporated milk
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Artificial sweetener (or sugar substitute)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Egg whites
• 1 (9-inch crust) Reduced-calorie graham cracker crust
• 1 cup Light whipped topping
• 2 tablespoons Shaved chocolate (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Break the German's sweet chocolate into small pieces and place in a medium microwave-safe bowl.

Step 3

Microwave the chocolate on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat evaporated milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract, artificial sweetener, and salt until fully combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 6

Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three parts, being careful not to deflate the batter.

Step 8

Pour the prepared chocolate filling into the reduced-calorie graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to the edges.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggles in the center when shaken.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 11

Before serving, spread light whipped topping over the top of the pie and garnish with shaved chocolate, if desired.

Step 12

Slice into 8 servings and enjoy this lighter version of the classic German's Sweet Chocolate Pie!
