Chocolate Cream Pie (Light Version)

This recipe may be a light version, but you can't tell it by the taste. It's delicious! 1-1/2 cups plus 3 Tbs cold milk 2 - 4 oz pkgs sugar-free instant chocolate pudding 1 reduced fat graham cracker pie crust 4 oz light cream cheese 1 Tbs sugar 1-1/2 cups Cool Whip Lite Combine 1-1/2 cuts milk and pudding mix with mixer, beat 1 minute. Mixture will be very thick. Spoon into pie crust. With mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and remaining 3 Tbs milk till smooth; fold into whipped topping. Spread over chocolate mixture in pie crust. Top with grated chocolate if desired. Chill at least 3 hours before serving. Note: To keep the crust from getting soggy, it can be brushed with a little beaten egg white and put in the oven for 5-10 minutes to crisp up. Cool completely before adding filling.
