Low sugar, low calorie Mojito Pie!!!

Made this for the first time for my father in law who is some-what diabetic. This pie is not only refreshing and delicious but it is low in calories and sugar! Very easy to make as well.

Mango Mojito Pie

Ingredients
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
½ cup nonfat milk
1 (8 ounce) package reduced fat cream cheese, softened
¾ cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
½ teaspoon rum extract
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch cubes or you can use frozen mangoes
1 (6 ounce) reduced fat graham cracker crust


Directions:
Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small saucepan; let stand 1 minute. Cook over low heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves (about 2 minutes). Set aside.


Beat cream cheese and SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sour cream, lime juice, lime peel and rum extract, beating until smooth. Gradually add gelatin mixture, beating until blended. Chill 30 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently.

Stir mango into gelatin mixture; spoon into piecrust.

Chill 2 hours or until set. Garnish with mint sprigs and mango slices.

Add some "Sophisti-Edge!"
This recipe is extremely versatile so there are a number of additions or changes that can be made to make this pie even bolder.
  • Use different fruit such as strawberries, pineapples, or raspberries in place of, or in addition to the mangoes. 
  • Mojito's are somewhat tropical so add a 1/2 tsp of coconut extract as well
