• Ready In: 17mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 pie
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 2 lbs strawberries
• 3⁄4 cup sugar, granulated
• 1⁄2 cup cranberry juice cocktail
• 1⁄4 cup cornstarch
• 6 ounces graham cracker ready pie crusts
• 1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt, Greek-style
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated

directions

1. Combine 3 cups sliced strawberries, sugar and juice in a medium saucepan.
2. Mash berries in pan with a potato masher; stir in cornstarch and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until very thick, about 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat; let cool slightly and then stir in remaining sliced strawberries. Scrape into pie crust.
4. Let cool slightly; cover loosely with plastic lid from pie crust. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours (you can then freeze the pie for a little while if desired, to make it easier to slice).
5. To serve, in a medium bowl, stir together vanilla yogurt and lemon zest until blended. Spread on top of pie, leaving a border around edges so strawberry filling shows. Slice reserved strawberries and use them to garnish pie. Slice pie into 10 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Wonderful dessert! I used Splenda instead of sugar so my diabetic, lactose intolerant friend could eat it, too. I had no cranberry juice and didn't feel like buying any for a mere half cup, so I used water with a teaspoon of lemon juice. Everyone enjoyed it - with or without the yogurt topping. Made for My 3 Chefs 2012

Delicious! I made a chocolate graham crust and baked it before adding the filling.
