Melt in your mouth fresh strawberry pie - extremely picky hubby's favorite. I have cooked this quite successfully using half sugar and half Splenda, to cut down on the calories. Ingredients:
9 inches cooked pie crusts |
2 lbs fresh strawberries |
1 1/2 cups water |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/8 cup sugar |
3 ounces strawberry gelatin |
8 ounces cool whip |
Directions:
1. Wash, drain and slice strawberries and sprinkle them with the 1/8 cup sugar; set aside.
2. Mix cornstarch,3/4 cup sugar and water in saucepan; bring to boil and stir several minutes, while boiling, until thickened and clear.
3. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin until dissolved.
4. Place berries in cooked, cooled shell (or use shortbread or graham cracker crust) and pour gelatin mixture carefully on top.
5. Refrigerate until chilled; when completely cooled, spread thick layer of Cool Whip on top.
