Hi there. Happy Pi Day!

I thought I would share this FABULOUS low carb no-bake Strawberry Cream Pie with you today because I just couldn’t wait any longer. Have you heard about freeze-dried strawberries? If you are a mom, you may have. It’s a pretty popular thing to give to kids now-a days. I gave them to my daughter when she was little (about 8 years ago). I would mix them up in the Cheerios (finger food) we would cart around as a snack for her. I miss those days!

Anyway, if you aren’t a regular reader, then you don’t know that  my posts tend to have a story, talk about ingredients, or about the recipe process while providing tips and hints. Yeah, a little dry to be sure. I try not to share too many details about my children or home life on the blog. I don’t know why…  Maybe because once the information is published, it’s out there f-o-r-e-v-e-r!

However, I DO feel more comfortable talking about my children or our family life in my Newsletter. That’s my place to say “Hi” to you, share helpful tips, and sometimes share the recipes that didn’t make it on to the blog because I just didn’t like the pictures I took. Want to know me better?

Back to this easy no bake Strawberry Cream Pie.

I need to take a minute and gather my thoughts because there is SO MUCH I LOVE about this pie I just don’t know where to begin. I’ll just start at the beginning…

LOW CARB PIE CRUST: I used my recipe for basic almond pie crust because it has a nice neutral flavor, but I think the walnut pie crust would be would be really nice, too. If you have your own favorite, by all means use it. It’s the filling in the strawberry cream pie that is the star anyway!

STRAWBERRY CREAM FILLING: What I love about this easy low carb strawberry cream filling is that I didn’t have to buy fresh strawberries and cook them down to remove the excess water and concentrate the strawberry flavor. Yep, it’s an easy, no-cook filling. That in itself is exciting. But using freeze-dried strawberries, like I did in the low carb strawberry mousse I posted last week, keeps the strawberry flavor fresh and helps thicken the filling, too. Where do you find freeze-dried strawberries? I bought mine from Trader Joe’s for about $4 a package. You can also buy freeze-dried strawberries and raspberries through Amazon.

I opted to use Greek yogurt as the base in this recipe because it delivers a tanginess that goes great with the strawberries. That’s why you often see Balsamic vinegar paired with strawberries like in my strawberry buttermilk ice cream. Classic, classic, classic. To finish the filing and to give it a creamy, mousse-like texture I folded in some freshly whipped cream. It was absolute perfection!

I chose to extra whipped cream and some fresh strawberries to dress this pie up for pictures. I think going with 1/2 or 1/4 of a large fresh strawberry per person is about perfect.

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Low Carb Basic Almond Flour Pie Crust (or your favorite low carb pie crust)

Strawberry Cream Filling

  • 1 cup Fage Yogurt 2 %
  • 1/2 cup low carb powdered sugar (or Swerve Confectioners)
  • 1.2 ounce freeze-dried strawberries, powdered in a coffee grinder, 25 g
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped until very stiff

Instructions

  • Crust: Prepare the pie crust and cool completely. Can be made a day ahead of assembling the pie.
  • Strawberry Cream Filling: Measure all of the ingredients, except for the whipped cream, into a medium bowl and mix with a hand mixer until completely combined, about 1 – 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Whip the heavy cream until very stiff, until it looks like the consistency of whipped cream from a can. Sometimes 1 tablespoon of powdered erythritol helps chill the cream for easier and better whipping.
  • Add 1/3 of the whipped cream into the strawberry yogurt mixture and mix with the mixer on the lowest speed until combined. Add 1/2 of the remaining cream into the strawberry cream mixture and fold gently with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Repeat with the remaining whipped cream.
  • Assembly: Pour into the strawberry cream filling into the pie crust. smooth the the edges and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
  • Top with additional whipped cream and strawberries if you desire and serve.

    I have now made your Lemon, French Silk, and Strawberry Pies and ALL have been delicious! I love that you go the extra mile for flavor. Just because we eat low carb does not mean we have to compromise on flavor! Thank you for all you do.. we LOVE all your recipes! I have not made one yet that didn’t thrill us (and I have made a lot!)

    Yum, yum, yum! I made this for my carb-loving family, and we all loved it. I used your Flaky Low Carb Pie Crust for the crust. I’m planning to make another one for Easter this weekend. I also want to try it with blueberries, next time I get to Trader Joe’s.

    Hello,
    I was curious if cream cheese would work in this recipe instead of the yogurt??

      Hi Crystal. I guess you could use cream cheese for the yogurt, but I really like how the yogurt plays with the flavor of the strawberry in this recipe. I didn’t test it with the cream cheese so I don’t really know what the result will be – Maybe more of a no-bake cheesecake instead of a strawberry cream pie? -Kim

    I didn’t have time for a ‘pie crust’ so I took ramekins, sprinkled some finely chopped almonds in the bottom and topped with this filling. In a word “Fantastic” Thank you so much for sharing this.

    I have a lot of fresh strawberries that I froze. Will they work in this recipe? Looks delicious.

      Hi Beverly, no, fresh will not work in this particular recipe. I am sorry about that. This recipe only works with the freeze-dried. BUT I have a delicious Strawberry Buttermilk Ice Cream recipe that is equally as amazing! It’s a stellar dessert. Have a great day. -Kim

    I was never that crazy about strawberries, but this has become one of my favorite pies. I found full-fat whole milk Fage and use that instead of 2%. I think I may have inadvertently bought 9.5″ pie pans because both times I made this pie, I didn’t have enough filling. So I topped the filling with a layer of sliced fresh strawberries and topped that with lightly sweetened whipped heavy cream. I was eyeing the freeze-dried blueberries at Trader Joe’s and might have to try that next time.

      Thank you so much! I can’t find full fat Fage in my stores anymore so that’s why I used the 2%. I bet yours was very creamy and delicious. I have used the freeze dried blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and cranberries in cakes, cream pies and frosting. They all taste great. One of my earlier recipes uses the cranberries in the frosting for a dark chocolate espresso cupcake – it’s a stellar combination. I urge you to experiment! Thanks again for your generous comment and have a wonderful day! -Kim

      Jackie, I suppose you could, but I haven’t tried. I have a feeling that the texture will be a little softer and the taste a little different, but in a pinch, it will do. Let me know how it works. If you ever have the chance to try it with the Fage yogurt, it is really, really delicious. Thank you for your question and have a wonderful week! -Kim
