Strawberry Bavarian Pie image

This recipe comes from Not Just Cheesecake! a low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-calorie dessert cookbook. It is wonderful! This is made with yogurt cheese and produces a very creamy low-fat pie. The longer you strain the yogurt the more whey is released and the firmer the cheese. I have been making it for years and use my microwave graham cracker crust.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (32 ounce) carton low-fat vanilla yogurt (without gelatin)
3/4 cup water, divided
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
2 pints strawberries, sliced
1/4-1/2 cup sugar (Splenda works very well.)
1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust, cooked and cooled

Steps:

  • The day before making the pie, strain the yogurt by straining through a cheese cloth lined mesh strainer or using a yogurt cheese funnel.
  • Discard whey and reserve the yogurt cheese for the pie.
  • Wash strawberries, hull and slice.
  • Sprinkle with sugar or a mixture of sugar and Splenda.
  • Taste for sweetness and adjust sweetening as necessary for personal taste.
  • Soften the gelatin in 1/4 cup of water for 5 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 cup water, add the gelatin and stir until dissolved.
  • Gradually stir gelatin mixture into sweetened strawberries, add yogurt cheese and stir gently with a fork until well blended.
  • Pour into a 9-inch prepared graham cracker pie crust that is thoroughly cooled.
  • Refrigerate until firm; at least 3 to 4 hours.
  • Please Note: Straining the yogurt will take 12 to 24 hours and while straining the yogurt should be placed in refrigerator for safe keeping.
