LOWER SUGAR FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE image

This is a delicious "no added sugar" pie. It sets up firmly and can be piled high. Be sure to use the sweetest berries available, preferably locally grown.

Time 52m

Number Of Ingredients 10

PIE:
2 qt fresh strawberries, washed, capped & quartered
1 1/2 c water
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 small box sugar-free strawberry gelatin
6 Tbsp granulated splenda sugar substitute
1 graham cracker pie shell or nut crust (*see note)
TOPPING (OPTIONAL):
1/2 pt heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp granulated splenda sugar substitute

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water.
  • 2. Stirring constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thickened and beginning to boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Add gelatin and granulated sugar substitute, stirring until well combined.
  • 4. Pour the mixture over your bowl of strawberries and use a large spoon to mix and thoroughly coat all of the berries.
  • 5. Pour into crust (don't be afraid to pile the berries high.) Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. If desired, serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream. Refrigerate leftovers.
  • 6. While pie is chilling, make the whipped cream (if desired) by using a hand-mixer to whip 1/2 pint of cream to soft peak stage then gradually adding 1 tablespoon granulated sugar substitute while continuing to whip to stiff peaks.
  • 7. *NOTE: The typical graham pie crust/shell contains 6 grams of sugar per serving, while a pecan crust contains 3 grams of sugar per serving.

This pie was a disappointment. The crust was dry and the filling was bland.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The pie filling was great, but the crust was a little dry. I might try a different crust recipe next time.
