List of Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs -- (36 cookies)
3 tablespoons reduced-calorie stick margarine -- melted
3 cups Banana-Nut Ice Milk
1 1/4 cups cool whip lite -- thawed and divided
12 small soft caramel candies

Recipe

Combine cookie crumbs and margarine in a small bowl, and stir well. Press into bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch pieplate; freeze 1 hour. Spread Banana-Nut Ice Milk into prepared crust, and freeze for 1 hour or until firm. Place 3/4 cup whipped topping in a freezer-safe bowl, and set aside. Place caramels in a small saucepan; cook over medium-low heat until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/2 cup whipped topping. Fold caramel mixture into the 3/4 cup whipped topping; cover and freeze 30 minutes. Spread caramel mixture over pie; freeze 1 hour or up to 3 days. Yield: 8 servings

NOTES : To serve, place chocolate sauce in a zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag, and seal bag. Snip a tiny corner off bag; drizzle chocolate over plate and pie.
