Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 4 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Lite or sugar-free whipped topping, thawed
• 4 ounces Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup 2% milk
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Mini chocolate chips, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, beat the reduced-fat cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined and fluffy.

Step 5

Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping gently until no streaks remain. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust and refrigerate.

Step 6

In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs while continuing to beat, ensuring it is well incorporated.

Step 8

Spread the chocolate mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pie. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 9

Before serving, spread the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping over the top of the pie. Garnish with mini chocolate chips, if desired.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
