This sounds delicious but, I can’t get my points to equal 2/serving. I have the points for the Keebler Reduced Fat Graham Cracker Crust are 34 points for the whole pie, 4 per serving or 1/8th of the pie. Your calculations up top shows 4 points for the whole pie crust. Am I missing something? Points get confusing to me at times. Then 5 for the cool whip and 2 for the yogurt is 41 points = 5 points per serving not 2 points.?
Thanks Susan. You are right! I accidentally input the graham cracker crust as 1/8th of a crust when I was updating the recipe.
It should be 5 points per serving.
I updated the post. Thank you and sorry for the error!
If you make this with orange jello and vanilla yogurt, it tastes like a creamsicle.
