    List of Ingredients




    6 c. fat-free vanilla or chocolate frozen yogurt (approx. 3/4 of a 1/2-gallon container)
    1 c. finely crushed reduced-fat vanilla wafers or low-fat honey graham crackers
    1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/4 c. powdered sugar
    2 T. light butter, melted
    2 T. light corn syrup
    1/4 c. chocolate syrup
    1-1/2 T. reduced-fat peanut butter
    1 tsp. fat-free milk
    nonstick cooking spray

    Recipe



    Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. remove frozen yogurt from freezer to soften. Allow it to become slightly soft, but not melted or souplike. In a medium bowl, mix wafer/cracker crumbs with cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Add melted butter and corn syrup and stir. The crumbs should be just sticky, but not soggy. Spoon into pie plate. Using a piece of waxed paper, press the crumbs to evenly cover bottom and sides of pie plate.

    In a small bowl, stir chocolate syrup into peanut butter until all lumps are removed; the mixture should resemble a paste. Spread about two-thirds of mixture evenly over the bottom of crust. Set the other one-third aside.

    Spoon softened frozen yogurt on top of peanut butter mixture in pie plate in an even mound. When pie plate is full and heaping, smooth top with a spatula. If yogurt seems soft or at all runny, return pie to freezer to harden before the next step.

    Finally, add milk to reserved chocolate-peanut butter mixture and stir until smooth. Using a spoon, drizzle mixture over top of pie in a swirling motion. If the mixture is too think to drizzle, add more milk a drop at a time, stirring until to reaches a smooth but not separated consistency.
