STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW PIE (SUGAR-FREE, OR NOT)
I made two of these pies the other night. I wanted to make something for my friend and her husband (He is a diabetic -loves sweets.). He has been very sick. since I didn't want to make a heavy, sugar-laden pie, I ended up making two pies, one sweetened with sugar-free gelatin; and the other one with regularly, sweetened...

Steps:
- 1. Dissolve a 3 ounce package of gelatin in one cup of boiling water. For your needs and likes, choose to use gelatin sweetened with sugar, or sugar-free (sweetened with Splenda or other artificial sweetener.)
- 2. Add 10 ounce of frozen strawberries or a combination of fresh and frozen. You can use sweetened or unsweetened. If you use fresh strawberries, don't sweeten. Stir well until the strawberries separate (if frozen) and gelatin mixture thickens.
- 3. Fold in 2 cups of mini marshmallows. NOTE: If a diabetic, you may need to do an exchange for the marshmallows. If using the sugar-free gelatin, they are the only ingredient that contains sugar (and there would be a smidgen in the cookie crust.) If you didn't want to use a bought crust that contains sugar -you can easily make your own crust without any sugar or sweetener. You be the judge on what you can and can't have.
- 4. Fold in 1 cup of whipped heavy (whipping) cream.
- 5. Pour into a 9-inch cookie crust -graham or chocolate cookie.
- 6. Decorate with sliced fresh strawberries, if desired. Chill until firm.
- 7. Enjoy a slice of strawberry marshmallow pie! Yummy! Yummy!
