Low Calorie Pie Recipes: Marshmallow Cream, Pistachio, Cream Pies

A lower calorie marshmallow cream pie recipe for dieters. This is a pie to enjoy whenever you're having a craving for that yummy marshmallow fluff in a jar - when nothing else will do - when you don't want to totally blow your weight loss plan. Although far from nutritious outside of the healthy dose of yogurt, this lower calorie marshmallow pie will satisfy the most-naughty of sweet tooth cravings.

A few chopped nuts can be added for texture and taste, but take care as they are extreme in calories, although a healthy addition when kept in moderation. Marshmallow fluff can be halved to save calories.
