February 7, 2019

Recipe

No baking is required to create these individual berry pies. Serve for dessert or as a tea-time treat.

Serves 6

Strawberries and raspberries are good sources of vitamin C and fiber. If you don't have berries, use fresh peaches or bananas instead.

Make the pudding according to the directions on the package. In a small bowl, mix together the strawberries and raspberries.

Divide the pudding among the pie crusts (about 4 teaspoons in each). Add about 2 tablespoons of the berry mix to each pie. Top each with 1 tablespoon whipped topping. Garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

1/2 cup fat-free, sugar-free instant vanilla pudding made with fat-free milk
3/4 cup sliced strawberries (about 12 to 15 medium strawberries)
3/4 cup raspberries
6 single-serve (tart-size) graham cracker pie crusts
6 tablespoons light whipped topping
6 mint leaves, for garnish
