peaches'n cream pie
PER SERVING (1 slice): 85 calories, 3g fat, 158mg sodium, 17g carbs, 7g fiber, 1.5g sugars, 2g protein

Ingredients
2 cups Fiber One bran cereal (original)
Вј cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread, melted
1 large 8-serving box (or 2 small 4-serving boxes) Jell-O Sugar Free Peach Gelatin Dessert Mix 1ВЅ cups Cool Whip Free
Optional: sliced peaches (for garnish)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin mix into 2 cups of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Then stir in 1 cup of cold water and place in the fridge for about 1½ hours (but not longer than that—the mixture should be thickened but not gelled).

Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Combine crumbs with melted butter and stir until well mixed.

In an oven-safe pie dish sprayed with nonstick spray, evenly distribute Fiber One mixture, using your hands or a flat utensil to press and form the crust. Use your fingers to press it into the edges and up along the sides of the dish. Bake pie crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside.

Once Jell-O has thickened, use an electric mixer to blend in the Cool Whip. When mixture is uniform and smooth, pour it evenly into the pie crust. Use a flat utensil to smooth out the surface. Refrigerate for several hours until firm. If desired, garnish pie with peach slices. Cut into 8 slices.
