Dee Dee's Weight Watcher's Strawberry Pie image

My mom was a weight watcher and she made this pie all the time. It was really very good!!! Made me think of the Shoney's Strawberry Pie. If this strawberry pie is not my favorite low-calorie dessert recipe, it's definitely one of my favorites. The recipe calls for Equal and that's what my mother always used. I prefer Splenda.
