Instructions

Dissolve the Gelatin
Begin by dissolving the peach-flavored sugar-free gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Make sure to whisk well to avoid lumps, and ensure the mixture is smooth. This step is crucial for creating the silky texture of the pie’s filling. -
Add Yogurt
Once the gelatin has dissolved, add in the fat-free peach yogurt. Whisk the yogurt into the gelatin mixture until it is fully incorporated and smooth. The yogurt adds a creamy tang to balance the sweetness of the peach gelatin, while also boosting the protein content. -
Fold in Cool Whip Free
After the gelatin and yogurt mixture is smooth and fully combined, gently fold in the Cool Whip Free. Folding, rather than mixing, helps to maintain the fluffy, light texture of the whipped topping. You want to ensure everything is evenly combined without deflating the airy texture. The Cool Whip will lighten up the mixture, giving the pie its signature silky texture. -
Pour into the Crust
Once the filling is ready, pour it into the reduced-fat graham cracker crust. Smooth the top using a spatula, making sure the filling is evenly spread throughout the crust. At this point, the pie may look slightly runny, but don’t worry—it will firm up beautifully as it chills. -
Chill
Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for several hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely. The gelatin will firm up as it cools, creating a luscious, creamy pie with a light, mousse-like texture. -
Serve and Enjoy
After chilling, slice the pie into 8 servings and indulge in a guilt-free dessert that tastes far more indulgent than it really is. This delightful pie is just 97 calories per slice and offers a refreshing peach flavor with every bite.
Extra Tips for Success
- Chilling Time: While 4 hours of chilling time will suffice for setting the pie, allowing it to chill overnight will give the best results in terms of texture and flavor development.
- Yogurt Variations: If you can’t find peach-flavored yogurt, try using vanilla or plain non-fat yogurt for a slightly different flavor, though peach yogurt is preferred to complement the peach gelatin.
- Crust Swap: For an even lower-calorie option, you can use a homemade or store-bought reduced-fat or no-bake graham cracker crust.
- Weight Watchers Friendly: At just 3 Weight Watchers points per serving, this pie is a wonderful dessert option for anyone following the program.
