- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 cup reduced-calorie cranberry juice cocktail

- While the glaze is cooling, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the zwieback crumbs and the brown sugar. Add the egg white and melted butter. Stir until mixed.
- Press evenly onto bottom and sides of pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edge is brown. Cool on wire rack. Turn off oven.
- When ready to make pie, spread the yogurt cheese mixture into the pie plate. Add the mixed berries to the fruit drink glaze mixture and toss gently. Spoon the berries onto the yogurt cheese mixture and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 3-6 hours.
