A Slice Of Heaven

One thing that I struggle with when I’m trying to eat healthfully is dessert. I love my sweets. I do pretty well with fruit, and I love light Cool Whip with chocolate graham crackers (easy ice cream sandwiches!). But sometimes I want something truly indulgent and decadent.

Enter this recipe I found on Pinterest:

Weight Watchers (!) Peanut Butter Pie

I stole this photo and based my recipe off the Dashing Dish’s website (which is beautiful, btw!). I gotta give her full credit because the recipe is simply divine.

Here’s how I made mine:

1/2 c. reduced fat peanut butter
8 oz. fat-free cream cheese
8 oz. fat-free Cool Whip
1 c. Splenda

(The original recipe calls for 1/4 c. of skim milk but I didn’t have any & the pie turned out fine!)

Mix the ingredients together and pour into an Oreo cookie pie crust. Freeze for at least 6 hours. And, as the Dashing Dish recommends, take it out at least 15 min. before you plan to serve so you can cut slices easily.

I sprinkled a small handful of mini chocolate chips on top, cut it in 10 slices for 5 pts. each. So amazing! I’m definitely making this pie again.

How do you satisfy your sweet tooth when you’re trying to eat well?

I’ve lived in nine different states, plus London, and worked for some top-notch publications (Southern Living, Women’s Wear Daily) as a writer and copy editor. Now I am the assistant editor at a bass fishing magazine. I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I remember, at one time tipping the scale at 289 pounds. At the end of 2009, weighing in at about 275, I started counting calories and exercising regularly, finally finding some success in this ongoing battle. After a scare from my doctor in early 2010, that success became even more important to my overall health. It’s still a challenge, and the scale definitely moves up and down instead of just down, but my confidence that I will reach my goal is solid.
