CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST (recipe follows)
|
|
1/2
|
cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
|
|
sugar substitute to equal 1/2 cup granulated sugar
|
|
1
|
teaspoon vanilla extract
|
|
1-1/3
|
cups all-purpose flour
|
|
3
|
tablespoons Hershey's cocoa

- In large mixer bowl, beat butter, sugar and sugar substitute until light and fluffy. Add
egg and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add alternately
with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Shape dough into two 6-inch long
rolls. Wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze 6 to 8 hours. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease
9-inch pie plate. Cut dough into 1/8-inch thick slices; arrange enough slices, edges
touching, to cover bottom and sides of prepared pie plate. Bake 7 to 9 minutes. Cool.
- Drain fruit cocktail, reserving juice. Add enough water to juice to measure 3/4 cup.
Cover and refrigerate fruit.
- In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over juice. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. Add egg yolk,
lemon juice, lemon peel and sugar substitute to equal 1/4 cup sugar; beat with whisk until
blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils; boil and stir 1
minute.
- Remove from heat. Pour mixture into bowl; refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until
mixture has consistency of unbeaten egg whites, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour evaporated milk into metal bowl; place in freezer until very cold and ice
crystals begin to form around edges, about 1 hour. Beat chilled milk and remaining sugar
substitute on high speed of electric mixer until foamy.
- Add gelatin mixture, beating until well blended. Pour into CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST.
Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or until set. Garnish with reserved fruit cocktail.
Note: Leftover dough can be used for cookies. Slice as directed. Bake at 375°F. on
ungreased cookie sheet 7 to 9 minutes. Cookies can be crushed in blender or food processor and
used to top sugar-free frozen yogurt, folded into sucrose-free whipped topping or used as a
garnish on sugar-free cakes or puddings.
