Bobby’s Lighter Frozen Chocolate Mousse Pie
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup low-fat milk
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons chocolate-flavored liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons meringue powder *
6 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups fat-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
1/2 (1-ounce) square semisweet chocolate, grated

Microwave both chocolates and the milk in a microwavable container on High, stirring halfway through cooking time, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in the corn syrup, liqueur, and vanilla. Let cool completely.
With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the meringue powder and water in a medium bowl until glossy peaks form, 2 – 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the beaten meringue and whipped topping into the cooled chocolate mixture until no streaks of white remain. Spoon into the prepared crust; spread evenly. Sprinkle with the grated chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until frozen, at least 3 hours .

Bobby,
You should write a book. I have not found a recipe that I do not like. I have Type 2 diabetes and need to keep my carbs under 45 and for the most part, all of these recipes fit that criteria. Thanks so much….write a book on the lighter side of Paula..love your Mom..

I love reading about your family and seeing your pictures. I respect the fact that you are teaching your son's family values because so much of that seems to be going by the wayside anymore..maybe someday we will meet and by that time your son's may even have their own cooking show.lol..wishing you lots and lots of love from this country girl's kitchen to Brooke Deen's kitchen of love.
