We are eager to taste this pie. I used fresh fruit but for some reason, it wasn't very good. None of my family liked it and I will be throwing out the rest of the pie today. I followed the recipe exactly

This pie is excellent & adds a wonderful twist to a classic pie. I served this for a dinner party & it was a hit. Our guests raved about it and everybody wanted to grab another piece! In fact, my husband had his done in no time flat & was licking his plate, which he never does! For the filling I combined 2 cups of mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, & raspberries) plus 1 cup sliced strawberries & 1 cup sliced peaches. I also did 1/2 Splenda & 1/2 sugar, but I split the Splenda between the topping & the fruit to give the berries a little added sweetness. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla to the cream mixture and used fat free sour cream. It was absolutely wonderful. I made my own crust & baked the pie the night before to make sure that it was fully set & to let the flavors migle. It came out beautifully! Thank you so much for this excellent pie. By the way, with our brands & substitutions, the pie comes out to only 3 Weight Watchers points a piece and 18 sugars. Thanks again :)

Very good and very easy! Can't beat that! I might cut back a bit on the sugar next time, but I think that's just more of a personal preference. It was perfectly delicious made exactly as written. Just make sure you let it cool for quite a long time before cutting into it. We waited several hours, and it still could have used a bit longer to set up. Who can wait, though? :)

Very yummy! I love the creaminess that the sour cream mixture gives. I didn't take a photo because my berry pies always turn out runny. I'm hoping that after sitting in the fridge over night the pieces will be easier to pick up. Thanks for posting! Made for All New Zaar Cookbooks Tag Game.

Hello, just here to claim my credit. I am lavandarlynns daughter and I'll tell you, I MADE THAT!! xD Anyway, I've made this pie twice now, in small and normal pie sized form and I'll tell you it's very easy to make small, as you don't have to fuss with a top crust. (I hate top crust) So beautiful, delicious pie. I like to sustitute a 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon for nutmeg. Thank you!
