TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling
Ingredients:
- 1 cup reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs (about 5 whole crackers)
- 1/4 cup margarine, melted
- 1 package (.8 ounce) sugar-free cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups water, divided
- 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free lemon gelatin

In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and margarine; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or lightly browned; cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine dry pudding mix and 1-1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened; cool.
In another large saucepan, bring remaining water to a boil. Add gelatin powder; stir to dissolve. Stir into pudding mixture. Add pineapple; cool completely.
Fold in whipped topping; pour into crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Garnish with lemon, strawberries and mint if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
