    GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

    1 1/4 cups low fat graham cracker crumbs or 10 whole crackers, crushed

    2 tablespoons sugar

    3 tablespoons Land O Lakes Light Butter (5.5 grams fat per 1 tablespoon) or other light butter or

    margarine, melted

    Prepare Graham Cracker Crust according to directions using an 8 to 9-inch pie plate. Cover and chill

    crust at least an hour before filling. Drain Mandarin Orange syrup off orange segments and set aside ½

    cup orange syrup. Cover orange segments and chill until ready to serve with chilled pie. Pour skim

    milk into a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over milk and allow to soften 3 to 4 minutes. Stirring

    frequently, cook milk over low heat, 2 to 3 minutes until gelatin has dissolved. Blend fat free cream

    cheese and sugar together until smooth. Gently mix milk, ½ cup Mandarin Orange syrup, vanilla, and

    orange extract and lemon juice into cheese mixture until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared

    crust. Refrigerate until set and chilled; approximately 2 hours before serving. Before serving carefully

    spread 1½ cup fat free whipped topping over top of pie in an even layer and garnish servings with

    chilled orange segments. Yield: 10 servings at approximately 230 calories; 1.9 grams total fat; 0.8
