IMO It's fine to ask :-) Many of us allow treats now and again and I think most of us agree that "all things in moderation" makes for a healthy lifestyle.

Unfortunately I do not have a pie recipe, but strawberries and blueberries are 2 of my fave treats, so here is what I usually do with them....

Strawberry/blueberry parfaits (blackberries make a great addition as well)

1 pkg sugar-free instant Jello pudding (Lemon)
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1/2 cup lite whipped topping
2 tsp vanilla
2 generous cups of fruit (I usually use 3)

Mix the first 4 ingredients together using a hand-held mixer on med high and beat til it's as stiff as you can get it.

layer mousse/berries/mousse/berries and top with a spoonful of mouse and a garnish of a couple whole berries. I like to use a set of large goblets as dishes.

Serves 4 and I get loads of compliments on it!

Happy recipe hunting!

my favorite recipe site

is www.allrecipes.com. User reviews and nutritional info make this a big winner. Many users will offer hints on how they made a recipe more healthy and how it turned out.
