Notes

Pie was originally cut into 8 pieces, but the consensus was that it was too filling (more like a meal). 1/16th is the perfect after dinner dessert portion. Serve some sliced strawberries or banana with this low fat dessert, if you want a little more color on the plate.

I love cheesecake, but very rarely have it.  Who can afford the calories, never mind the mind-boggling amounts of fat, in most cheesecakes.  After a good deal of investigation, and a couple failed attempts, I've come up with a low fat chocolate cheesecake, with yummy peanut butter crust. It has only 105 calories per serving, so there is no need to skip dessert.  The texture, and flavor ended out being about half-way between cheesecake and chocolate pudding pie, hence the addition of the word pie to the name.
