Italian Cream Pie
with Strawberry Sauce
- Crust:
1/2 (15-ounce) package Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
Filling:
1 cup fat-free milk - divided use
1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
2 (6 ounce) containers Yoplait® Light Fat Free very vanilla
yogurt
Strawberry Sauce:
1/4 cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (10 ounce) package Cascadian Farm® frozen organic strawberries,
thawed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Fit crust into an 8- or 9-inch springform
pan, pressing crust up side of pan to top edge. (Do not overwork
or allow crust to get too warm.) Prick bottom and side of crust
with fork.
- Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly
browned. Cool completely on wire rack.
- To Make Filling: pour 1/2 cup of milk
into a medium saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over milk and let stand
1 minute. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk and SPLENDA® Sugar
Blend. Cook over low heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves.
- Pour milk mixture into blender; add ricotta
and vanilla and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl;
stir in whipped topping and yogurt.
- Remove crust from pan; place on a serving
plate. Cut a piece of waxed paper long enough to fit around crust
with a 1-inch overlap; fold paper lengthwise into thirds. Wrap
paper around outside edge of crust, allowing it to extend about
3 inches above top to form a collar; secure with string. Pour
filling into crust. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours. Serve
with Strawberry Sauce.
- To Make Strawberry Sauce: combine SPLENDA®
Sugar Blend and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Add strawberries
and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture
comes to a boil. Cook 1 additional minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice. Cover and chill.
