Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Set aside about 100 grams of the sliced strawberries for topping later.
In a saucepan, combine the remaining strawberries, unsweetened almond milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries begin to soften and release their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan while stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to thicken, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the strawberry mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, or use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan for convenience.
Once the mixture has cooled to room temperature, fold in the non-fat Greek yogurt until completely combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a pie dish or an 8-inch round baking dish, smoothing out the surface with a spatula.
Top the pie with the reserved fresh strawberries, arranging them decoratively.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Garnish with optional fresh mint leaves before serving. Slice and enjoy your no crust low calorie strawberry pie!
