According to the title of this pie one bite should remind you of that refreshing summer treat I remember loving as a child and still enjoy as an adult. Although the taste is good, it's just not root beerish, more on the vanilla side. It is also low in calories for those of you (me included) needing to cut down on sweets.
Ingredients: 1 carton (8 ounce) frozed reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed,divided, 3/4 cup cold diet root beer, 1/2 cup fat-free milk, 1 package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 graham cracker crust (9 inch), maraschino cherries,optional.
Instructions: Set aside and refrigerate 1/2 cup whipped topping for garnish. In a large bowl, whisk the root beer, milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in half of the remaining whipped topping. Spread into graham cracker crust.
Spread remaining whipped topping over pie. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Dollop reserved whipped topping over each serving; top with a maraschino cherry, if desired.
Serves 8 (each serving equals 185 calories).
