Ingredients


  • Dough for single-crust pie
  • 1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup egg substitute
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sugar strawberry preserves
  • Fat-free whipped topping, optional

Description

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 350°.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, egg substitute, honey and vanilla until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake until center is almost set, 15-18 minutes longer. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Arrange strawberries over filling. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir in preserves. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Spoon or brush over the strawberries. Refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting. If desired, garnish with whipped topping
