Experience, the crust gets yucky. I make 2 at a time, so I have something on hand for sudden company or church potlucks.

I was teasing. At my house I'd be lucky to get the think INTO the freezer! If I'd written your post it would have been more like "It should last somewhere between 2 minutes and 2 hours..."

Often I sub a cup of peanut butter for the chocolate, and use a chocolate crust and drizzle chocolate syrup on the top just before serving, or I’ll add strawberries and a 1tsp of lemon juice.

Instant Pudding can be added, but you have to experiment with the amount of milk you need to get it they way you want it. Half a cup or less usually does the job, just enough to mix the pudding.

The cream cheese, sour cream and cool-whip are the base. Add a tsp of lemon juice if you want it to taste more like cheese cake and then top with your favorite pie filling just before serving.

Sound like yummy ideas all. I'll try to give them a shot soon. I make a chocolate silk pie similar to the one you have there. I'll try to dig up the recipe and post it.

There is no end of ideas for pies you can do with this base, and it is NO BAKE. You can make your own crust or buy one. Even a novice can turn out a decent desert with this one.

Since there are just 2 of us 1 will last out the week, hubby gets the lions share as I have to watch the calories more than he does.

He’s the one that gained 5 lbs from T-day to New Year’s..I didn’t gain a pound..I watched what I ate all week whenever we had a party or dinner to go to, and kept the high cal stuff to small portions. One day of being ‘bad’ I can handle, but not day after day.

What I like about this desert is I can make it sugar free, fat free, with no crust, putting it into custard cups and my diabetic son in law can have some of it.
