The calorie count on this in the nutrition is way off!! The crust alone is 100 cals per serving. After tweaking it by substiting fat free cream cheese, leaving out the crust and chocolate chips and subsisting the powdered sugar for a 1/4c of Stevia and 1/2 tsp of cornstarch it was still 104 cals. So if you make this and don't substitute anything I would plug it in to see what you are really getting.

This was delicious and easy. Does not taste like a "light" PB pie at all! It was very sweet, so I may cut down on the sugar next time. This does great frozen for a chilly summer treat. Side note: the nutrition information is off for this recipe.
