Perfect Cottage Recipes - Desserts

I was checking back on previous recipes and re-discovered this one that I made for Thanksgiving 2 years ago.  I know it says "Weight Watchers" but purists take heart, there are still lots of calories to go around!!  Its just not as high in calories as it could be.....takes a while to make because of the freezing in between layers but oh so delicious!!

Weight Watchers Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

1 (6 oz) chocolate pie crust (I made mine with Oreo chocolate baking crumbs)

1/3 Cup canned pumpkin puree
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I used mixture of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg.)
3 Cups slightly softened low fat vanilla frozen yogurt (divided)
1 ½ Cups orange sherbet
1 ½ Cup low fat non-dairy whipped topping (I used low fat cool whip)
3 slices navel oranges cut in quarters

Mix pumpkin with sugar and spice in a large bowl with rubber spatula till sugar is dissolved.

Fold in 1 ½ cup of the slightly softened vanilla yogurt until well blended. Spread in bottom of pie crust. Freeze until firm – about 1 hour.  Spread the orange sherbet evenly over the top. Freeze until firm – about 1 hour.  Spread the remaining vanilla yogurt evenly over the sherbet to cover. Wrap pie tightly in plastic wrap; freeze 24 hours or up to 2 weeks.

To serve, soften pie slightly in refrigerator about 15 minutes.  Spread whipped topping over filling. Garnish with orange quarters.
