Easy Strawberry Pie

[nessyrae]

Thanks Josie...I will look for cook and serve vanilla sugar free. I think this would be great for taking to a cookout! I am hoping that my fiance likes this so that I don't have to eat it all myself or do you think it would freeze?

This is not a recipe that can be frozen. If you cover it well, it should last up to at least a week...maybe 10 days, but I have never had a problem eating it long before that. I think your fiance will probably eat more than you want him to.

If not, you could figure a way to make half the recipe. It would take a little measuring of the powders and finding a smaller pan, but there is no reason that that couldn't work just fine. I think this is quite forgiving.

thanks Josie@!

[nessyrae]

Well, I just made this pie on my lunch break...maybe it will be ready later for a piece! Looks good!

[nessyrae]

This pie turned about pretty well. However, when I set it in the fridge for cool, I set it in there lop sided...So one side is higher than the other...lol....tastes great though! Mine kinda came out in a blob though.

[Nikki2777]

That's exactly what I did... increased the water to 1-1/2 cups and sliced 1 lb. of strawberries.

So easy and so delicious!!!

This looks amazing! Although it is wintry outside tonight as I write this, I am looking forward to making this at our BBQ's when the spring and summer weather finally arrive! YUM.

[SCOTTSDALEJULIE]

I make this all the time, summer or winter. I add 1 cup of Hoods milk also, and I think it makes it creamier. We love this stuff. Oh yea, I have tried all different kinds of berries. and mixtures, and they are all great.

[Jaideyes]

This pie is fantastic! I put it in Pami's "graham cracker" crust.
Thank you for this recipe Carolyn

[SCOTTSDALEJULIE]

Jaideyes. Next time try a cup of Hoods milk. It really gives it a creamy texture.

[bkramer947]

Does it have a very jello-ish texture? I love the flavors but the more I think about this pie, the more I wonder if it jiggles and wiggles like Jello? (Not a fan of that texture but a big-time lover of the other ingredients!) Thanks.

[SCOTTSDALEJULIE]

Add the 1 cup0 milk and it's more like a light pudding, Try it, you will not be dissapointed. I was never a jello eater either. Julie

[bkramer947]

Julie, thank you!

when adding in the hoods milk to the strawberry pie, how much do i use and do i need to decrease the water or just leave the water out all together.

Julie, can I substitute equal amounts of cream and water for the milk?

[SCOTTSDALEJULIE]

Yes, you can substitute cream and water, and i used the water and just added 1 cup Hoods. everything else is the same, just add 1 cup hoods or cream and water to equal a cup. Julie

Thanks, Julie!

[chickiemom]

This sounds so good. I only have frozen berries. Has anyone made this with frozen fruit.

[fla gal 57]

Went to the store this morning to get all my ingredients for my strawberry pie, wish me luck with it girls.....

[SCOTTSDALEJULIE]

Let us know. I always put a little whipped cream on top. this pie is so good. I don't even make a crust.

[PaminNY]

chickiemom,

I used frozen berries and it turned out fine

I should say I half thawed them first.

I have mine setting in the fridge, the mix tasted great, can't wait to try it.

Does anyone know about how many carbs in a pound of strawberries?

I like the easy way just add the whole thing instead of measuring! I need to know the carb count so I dont overindulge. TIA!

[Petlady]

this looks soo good, Thanks

Hi DC21,

1 pound of strawberries (16 oz) is 30.33 carbs and 9.94 grams of fiber.

[Pami]

I just did this- without the crust this time- and with frozen stawberries.
(My first time trying it with frozen berries- however if this works out, I have some blackberries in the freezer that are just screaming to get into a pie like this!)
I measured out 4 cups of strawberries and set them in a colander over a small saucepan.
Then, when they had thawed somewhat, I cut the berries into halves, quarters, or chunks.
(Some of them were huge!!!)
I let them continue thawing and draining until they were almost completely thawed, with only a few ice crystals remaining.
Then I measured the juice that had dripped into the saucepan, and added Carb Countdown 2% to make 1 1/4 cups liquid, and used that in my Jello and pudding mixture.
The only problem now is- I have to wait until it cools and sets before I can try it!!

Ok so next time I'll use less, I didnt think it was that much! But as far as the pie, it was excellent, we added whipped cream and sprinkled some crushed LC snickerdoodles on the bottom and on the top ant it tasted like straberry shortcake!

[kraukalee]

Oh, this sounds so good!

[jlatislaw]

I tried this and DH and I both liked it. I made it the way the recipe states then added 1 C. Hoods CC milk. It was plenty "stiff" enough and very good w/whipped cream on top. If I were taking it somewhere I'd probably use a crust.
