Ingredients

• 1 pre-made or baked from scratch Graham cracker crust
• 2 cups Skim milk
• 0.33 cup Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Low-fat whipped topping

Directions

Step 1

If making your own crust, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers in a food processor until fine, mix with a little melted butter substitute, and press into a pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Gradually stir in the skim milk until smooth.

Step 3

Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl, and set aside.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens—this should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk 0.5 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Then, slowly whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.

Step 6

Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes or until the mixture is thick and creamy.

Step 7

Remove the mixture from heat. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Let the pie cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.

Step 11

Before serving, spread low-fat whipped topping evenly over the chilled pie filling.

Step 12

Cut into 8 slices and serve.
