Recipe Introduction


I've often been inspired by favorite candy bar flavors when creating exciting new desserts, so of course I wanted to invent a version of this much-loved favorite!

Serves 8

List of Ingredients



• 2 (8-ounce) packages Philadelphia fat-free cream cheese
  
• 1 (4-serving) package Jell-O sugar-free instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
  
• 2/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
  
• 1 cup water
  
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
  
• 1 ½ teaspoons coconut extract *
  
• 1 cup Cool Whip Free *
  
• 1 (6-ounce) Keebler chocolate piecrust
  
• 2 tablespoons flaked coconut
  
• 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
  
• 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
  






Instructions



1. In a large bowl, stir cream cheese with a spoon until soft. Add dry pudding mix, dry milk powder, and water. Mix well using a wire whisk.
