Notes
*Yes, this can be made ahead of time. Make right through step 4. I do not recommend freezing the whipped cream on top. Whipped cream is best made right before serving.
*Place into refrigerator before serving. You do not want to serve a frozen pie but this pie is best enjoyed chilled.
*Yes, you can use sugar free JELL-O pudding, nonfat milk, lower fat cream cheese and light/fat free Cool Whip.
