For a more decadent treat that still fits in well with your balanced healthy diet, combine 2 Weight Watchers Pecan Crowns and 1 tablespoon of fat-free milk in a double-boiler over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until melted. Drizzle dessert sauce over strawberries before refrigerating your luscious healthy dessert.

Ingredients

3 Weight Watchers Double Chocolate Muffins (1 box)
3 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored granulated gelatin
1 (6-ounce) container Weight Watchers Nonfat Amaretto Cheesecake yogurt
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat or light whipped topping
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

Directions

To make the "pie crust," slice each chocolate muffin into thirds. Line a 9-inch pie plate with muffin slices by pressing down gently and evenly until entire bottom of pie plate is completely covered with muffin slices.

Put water in a small microwavable bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let it sit until a sponge is formed, about 2 minutes. Heat in microwave on medium-high power until gelatin melts, about 20 seconds. Stir to ensure gelatin is completely dissolved. If not, continue to microwave 5 seconds at a time until dissolved.

Add yogurt to a medium bowl. Stir in gelatin, then gently fold in whipped topping. Spoon mixture onto chocolate-muffin crust and spread evenly across crust to form pie topping. Arrange strawberries in a single layer across pie topping. Refrigerate your delicious healthy dessert uncovered for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
