 Posted: 02/06/03 - 09:24 Post subject: Post a dessert recipe...
Please post a good dessert recipe that you love--maybe healthy, maybe low-fat, maybe both, maybe neither!
This is one of my favorites and can even be made for diabetics. It's also low fat depending on your ingredients and quantities you use. This one is super easy and satisfying.
Triple Layer Party Pie by Joanna Lund
1 4-serving sugar free instant butterscotch pudding mix
1 1/3 cups nonfat milk powder (divided)
2 1/2 cups water (divided)
1 6-ounce graham cracker crumb pie crust (reg or choc)
1 4-serving sugar free instant chocolate pudding mix
1/2 cup light whipped topping
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
1. In a medium bowl combine butterscotch pudding mix, 2/3 cup dry milk powder, and 1 1/4 cups water. Mix well using a wire whisk. Pour mixture into pie crust. Rinse bowl to reuse. Combine dry chocolate pudding mix, rest of dry milk and rest of water. Mix well using a wire whisk. Pour over first layer. Refrigerate about 15 minutes. Before serving, spread whipped topping over top sprinkle with pecans and chocolate chips. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Note: regular milk may be used in place of powder/water mix. Also, you can use regular instant pudding.

Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 quarts water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) package acini di pepe pasta
3 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
2 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup shredded coconut
Directions
1 In a sauce pan, combine sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pineapple juice and eggs. Stir and cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat; add lemon juice and cool to room temperature.
2 Bring water to a boil, add oil, remaining salt and cook pasta until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain.
3 In a large bowl, combine the pasta, egg mixture, mandarin oranges, pineapple and whipped topping. Mix well and refrigerate overnight or until chilled. Before serving add marshmallows and coconut. Toss and serve.
I leave out the marshmallows when I make it though. Good stuff if you can make up a different name for it.  Kids don't think eating frog eyes is fub.
