I made this pie for Mother’s Day, but lightened it up by using fat-free cream cheese, splenda, and sugar-free geletin. My two kids that were there were even fighting over who was going to take the last piece home.(They ended up splitting it!)This recipe is definantly going into my recipe box. Thank you for submitting it!!!
