This was exceptionally tasty. However, when you use the nutrition facts provided and calculate fat grams per serving, it comes to 14g. I don't necessarily consider that low-fat.

So yummy and makes a great lowfat dessert! Can use lowfat honey grahams, fat-free milk, fat-free tub cream cheese, reduced fat Cool Whip, and unsweetened chocolate. Makes 18 servings. Found the recipe in Cooking Light and was searching to post. Glad to find it here already! Rich and creamy and you won't miss the calories! Thanks, Kittencal, for posting!
