Pineapple cream cheese pie with berries

Dietician's Tip

This dessert is more similar to a tart than a traditional cream pie. You can use any fresh, unsweetened berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust, about 9 inches in diameter
  • 1 can (16 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 pint berries, rinsed and drained (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries, or a combination)

Directions

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the sugar. Gently spread over the graham cracker crust. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.

Just before serving, spread the crushed pineapple over the cream cheese. Add the berries. Cut the pie into 8 wedges and serve immediately.
