    Makes 8 servings.
    Plan ahead…needs to chill 8 hours

    Crust:
    40 reduced-fat vanilla wafers (about 5 ounces)
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1 large egg white
    Cooking spray

    Filling:
    2 cups 1% low-fat milk, divided
    2/3 cup sugar
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (orange-flavored liqueur)
    1 tablespoon butter
    2 teaspoons grated orange rind
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cups frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
    1 tablespoon chopped pistachios

    Preheat oven to 350F.

    To prepare crust, place cookies in a food processor; pulse until crumbs form to measure 1 1/4 cups. Add melted butter and egg white; pulse until moist.

    Spoon crumb mixture into a 9-inch round removable-bottom tart pan coated with cooking spray. Press into bottom and up sides of pan. Bake at 350F for 9 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.


    To prepare filling, heat 1 1/2 cups milk in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat to 180F or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Remove from heat. Combine 1/2 cup milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add hot milk, stirring constantly with a whisk.

    Place mixture in pan. Cook over medium heat until thick (about 3 minutes), stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in liqueur, 1 tablespoon butter, rind, and vanilla. Pour into prepared crust; cover surface with plastic wrap. Chill 8 hours or until set. Remove plastic wrap. Spread whipped topping evenly over filling. Sprinkle with nuts.
