Great Recipe
I am a culinary school student. I made this pie for a luncheon which I planned, as a healthy option on my menu. It was a RAVE of the guests and students. No one could believe it was a healthy dessert

EXCELLENT!!!
Very tasty recipe. Easy to make, the hardest part was being patient and not eating it before it was done. Strawberries were good, but we tried fresh blueberries also, I liked the blueberries better.

strawberry and cream pie
This pie is fabulous...light and creamy and not too sweet. I was a little leary of the crust when I was making it but it turned out light and flaky. I put strawberries and blueberries on the top...you could do any fruit. I will definitely make this again...everyone loved it!
