ELEGANT LIGHT STRAWBERRY PIE
When strawberries are at their peak, this is a beautiful, light ending to any dinner. Because of it's color, it's especially appropriate for Valentine's Day. Cooking time includes 2-3 hours chilling time. For a fat-free dessert, omit the crust. Make the layers in individual parfait glasses, and garnish as for the pie.

Steps:
- Bake pie shells according to package directions for a pie that will have refrigerated filling.
- In saucepan mix cornstarch, gelatin mix, pudding mix and sugar.
- Add 1 cup water and 1 cup milk, stirring to wet the dry ingredients.
- Add cream cheese, cut into chunks, and cook on low, stirring with whisk until cream cheese melts and sauce is slightly thickened.
- Remove pot from heat and stir in remaining cup of milk, stirring with a whisk to blend well.
- Pour 1/4 of sauce into each pie shell; cover with 1/4 of sliced strawberries, pressing the berries into the sauce.
- Repeat procedure making a second layer of sauce in each pie shell, ending with strawberries on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill until pies are set- several hours.
- Just before serving, top each slice with a little fat-free non-dairy topping and one whole strawberry for garnish.
- NOTE: This can be made with raspberry gelatin mix and fresh raspberries.
- I've even made it with peach gelatin and fresh peaches (dipped in lemon juice to prevent discoloration), and drained.
