Yield: 6-8 Servings

25 25

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 can (6 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
6 cups low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt, divided
CRUST:
1-1/4 cups crushed gingersnaps (about 20 cookies)
1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in orange juice concentrate and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and orange peel. Cool to room temperature, stirring several times.
Soften 4 cups of frozen yogurt. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine gingersnaps and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate.
Spoon softened yogurt into crust. Top with half of the orange sauce; cut through with a knife to swirl. Place scoops of the remaining frozen yogurt over filling. Drizzle with remaining orange sauce.
Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours before cutting. May be frozen for up to 3 months. Yield: 6-8 servings.
