What are the holidays without those cute peppermint sticks? Cool tingling mouth-experience, reminding us of the brisk elements of the naked outdoors. You'll love dressing up your dessert buffet with this simple, light dessert that's easy on the eyes - and the waistline. Better yet - no baking and it's a pie that even the kids can help make.

You will need the following ingredients for this diet-wise recipe:

1 small container of thawed FREE Cool Whip (15 calories per serving)

1/2 cup of finely crushed peppermint

1 teaspoon of peppermint extract

1 graham cracker pie crust

GENTLY fold the extract and crushed peppermint into the Cool Whip, reserving just a bit of the peppermint for garnishing the top of the pie. Transfer to graham cracker pie crust and top with the crushed peppermint and mint leaves, if desired. Or, decorate with tiny candy canes. Pop into freezer and enjoy frozen OR into the fridge until firm for a fluffy pie treat. Drizzle with a bit of chocolate syrup if desired as the chocolate compliments the peppermint flavor most excellently.
