cheap & healthy desserts?

What size can? The 15oz one or the 30-ish one?

The smaller one (15 oz?)...be sure it is pure pumpkin and not the pumpkin pie filling!

we like a mock key lime pie.

1 fat free ready graham cracker crust (the rest of the ingredients should not be fat free as it will turn out runny)
1 pkg lime gelatin
1 10 oz container whipped topping (store brand is fine)
2 6 oz containers lime yogurt (yoplait rich and creamy)
lime zest.

boil 1/4 cup of water. Add the gelatin. mix until gelatin is disolved. whisk in the yogurt. fold in the whipped topping. top with some lime zest.

freeze over night. defrost 1 hour before serving. Serves 8

This dessert is always a hit.... you can also substitute lime for raspberry and add dark chocolate shavings... awesome! you can make it in any flavor

I make one similar:
1 graham cracker crust (you can get low sugar/fat version)
1 tube of cool whip (I buy sugar free, you can do fat free, etc)
1 can of sweet cond. milk (I buy fat free)
1 pkg koolaide (my family likes pink lemonade, you can do strawberry, lime, etc)

Mix cool whip, s.c. milk and koolaide with kitchen mixer, pour into crust. Refrigerate
