Easy & Inexpensive Desserts

let's see....here's a Sugar Free strawberry pie
1 12 oz cool whip
1 small SF instant vanilla pudding
1 small SF strawberry jello (dry)
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 pint strawberries (i use 1 bag frozen if fresh aren't available)
2 graham cracker pie crusts

mix cool whip, pudding, dry jello and milk until well blended, stir in sliced strawberries (leaving a few to garnish) and pour into pie crust. this will usually make two pies, so it's inexpensive AND delicious!

Am I supposed to make the pudding, before combining it with the cool whip, or is it added dry? Thanks

Not sure about cost, but this is delicious and super easy to make. Kids love it!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. It will "ball" up. Spread it into a pie crust. You can use pastry or graham cracker. I prefer pastry, but it should be prebaked. You might want to reserve some of the peanut butter mixture for garnish.

Follow the pie directions on chocolate pudding and add that to the pie. Chill. Top with Cool Whip and serve. Garnish the top with the peanut butter mixture if you're feeling fancy. YUM!!!
