REDUCED-FAT IMPOSSIBLE COCONUT PIE (SUGAR-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 9-inch pie plate with butter flavored cooking spray.
• Beat Egg Beaters with milk and light butter. Add flour and Splenda and whisk until smooth. Stir in coconut and vanilla. Pour into pie plate.
• Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until golden brown and knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. I prefer to let it cool, then refrigerate it overnight before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
• *If you want this pie to be completely sugar free, you will have to purchase unsweetened coconut or shred your own. You might want to add some extra Splenda as well--to make up for the sugar that's in regular packaged coconut. Also, you can substitute 1 cup egg whites (about 6 or 7) for the Egg Beaters.

LOW-FAT ORANGE AND ALMOND CREAM CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• For Crust:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch-diameter springform pan with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Coarsely grind granola and blanched slivered almonds in processor. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Stir in orange juice and honey. Press mixture onto bottom of prepared springform pan. Bake until crust is set and beginning to color, about 10 minutes. Transfer springform pan to rack and cool crust completely.
• For Filling:
• Stir orange juice and gelatin in heavy small saucepan over low heat until gelatin dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Puree cottage cheese, cream cheese, evaporated milk, sugar, honey and almond extract in blender until very smooth. Transfer to large bowl. Stir in gelatin mixture. Pour filling into crust. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Cheese pie can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cut each round in half. Drain orange pieces on several layers of paper towels. Arrange oranges decoratively over top of cheese pie. Stir apricot preserves in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted. Brush oranges with apricot glaze. Sprinkle pie with almonds and serve.
