We did not even let this sit for the hour recommended, ate it about half an hour into the time! ha. It is so good, I already have plans to make another one, as I know several family members who will LIKE this. I piped on some Cool Whip after scoring the pieces in the pie plate (so that my son won't take two slices at once and say 'but mom, that's one piece!') and sprinkled on the coconut, so the presentation is very pretty. Tastes fabulous!

Orange Push-Up Cheesecake

The best ice cream treat I can remember from childhood is those orange push-ups, so I just had to invent a dessert that recall the scrumptious taste beloved by all kids-- and the men they grew up to be! This tastes amazingly like the dream dessert your remember.

Serves 8

2 (8-ounce) package Philadelphia fat-free cream cheese
1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free orange gelatin
2/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1 Cup unsweetened orange juice
3/4 cup Cool Whip Lite*
1 (6-ounce) Keebler shortbread piecrust
2 tablespoons flaked coconut

In a large bowl, stir cream cheese with a spoon until soft. Add dry pudding mix, dry gelatin, dry milk powder, and orange juice. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in 1/4 cup Cool Whip Lite. Spread mixture evenly into piecrust. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Cut into 8 servings. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon Cool Whip Lite and 1 teaspoon coconut.

Each serving equals:
HE: 1/2 Bread, 1/2 Protein, 1///4 Skim Milk, 1/4 Fruit, 3/4 Sliver, 11 Optional Calories
