Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 9-inch crust Low-calorie graham cracker crust
- 1 3-ounce packet Sugar-free strawberry gelatin
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Cold water (for cornstarch)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar substitute (like Stevia, optional)
- 1 cup Light whipped topping (optional for serving)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set the sliced strawberries aside.
In a medium bowl, dissolve the sugar-free strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Allow the gelatin to cool slightly at room temperature.
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to form a smooth slurry.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove the thickened cornstarch mixture from the heat and slowly stir into the gelatin mixture until fully combined.
If desired, add 2 tablespoons of a sugar substitute to the gelatin mixture for additional sweetness. This step is optional and can be adjusted to taste.
Place the sliced strawberries into the prepared low-calorie graham cracker crust, spreading them out evenly.
Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the strawberries, making sure all the fruit is evenly coated.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling has fully set.
Once set, slice and serve the diet strawberry pie. If desired, top each slice with a dollop of light whipped topping for an added treat.
