Yes!! I would say instead of making that crust yourself - get a ready made Graham Cracker or Oreo Cookie Crust - it will save time + is easier.....plus I think they come in low fat versions also.....

Great

One thing I don't get about this recipe:


Quick and Easy _Mocha Fudge Pie By Laura Creavalle:

1/3 cup hot water
4 tsp instant coffee granules, divided
1/2 ( 19.85oz) box light fudge brownie mix ( about 2 cups)
2 tsp vanilla extract, divided
2 egg whites
3/4 cups skim milk
4 Tbsp Kahlua or other coffee flavored liquor , divided
1 pack sugar free instant chocolate pudding and pie filling mix
3 cups frozen reduced calorie whipped topping, thawed, divided
Combine hot water and 2 tsp coffee granules in a medium bowl, stir well. Add 1 Tbsp Kahlua. Add brownie mix, 1 tsp vanilla extract and egg whites; stir until well blended. Pour mixture in a 9 inch pie plate coated with pam spray. Bake at 325 for 22 minutes. Let crust cool completely. Combine milk, 2 Tbsp Kahlua, 1 tsp coffee granules, remaining 1 tsp vanilla and pudding mix in a bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer for 1 minute. Gently fold in 1 1-1/2 cups of whipped topping. Spread pudding mixture evenly over brownie crust. Combine remaining 1 Tbsp kahlua and remaining 1 tsp coffee granules in a bowl; stir well. Gently fold in remaining 1-1/2 cups of whipped topping mixture over pudding mixture. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired. Serve immediately or store loosely covered in fridge. Makes 8 servings.


I was wondering How I should go about the ingredients I embolded ( 1 Tbsp kahlua and 1 tsp cofee granules). Laura mentions to mix them in a bowl but what do I do after? Should I pour it into in the the pudding mixture before I fold in the whipped topping? I am a bit confused but hopefully someone can help me out.

Thanks a bunch

Well you're using 3 tblsp. out of the 4 called for of the Kahlua & 3 tsp. of the coffee granules called for in other parts of the recipe....so with this last part, you're using the last 1 tblsp/tsp. of each that's left....

I understand but once I stir the last kahlua and cofee granules in a bowl. What do I do with it? It does not tell you where to pour it? So I am confused as to where this mixture would go. Any idea?

Thanks

Oops!! Misunderstood the question....D'oh!!

Anyway - it looks to me that you are mixing that into the last 1.5 cups of whipped topping & spreading it over the top......

Hmmmmmm that's a lot of coffee/Kahlua flavor IMO......I might prefer the remaining whipped topping plain, myself....

A poblano is a pepper....looks sort of like a elongated bell pepper.....They are fresh and I pick them up at the grocery store or farmer's market....Yes they can be spicy, but the spice is milder than that of a jalapeno, for example.....

For the latest recipe you posted, it calls for 1 cup of poblano....depending on how spicy you like things, you may want to start with 1/2 cup & add more if you want it spicier, etc....I find they lose some heat too when cooked - but I've had some that were not spicy at all & some that were very very spicy....

As for the tartar sauce....make your own with FF mayo, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce (dash or two), relish, salt, pepper & hot sauce (couple dashes). Amounts of all ingredients to taste.....

Thanks Jen!!!

Do the poblano peppers have to be cooked. The recipe does not say anything. Can they be eaten raw?

Thanks a lot
