Ingredients
FOR THE CHEESE LAYER:
- 8 ounces (225 g) Neufchatel cheese, softened (or regular or light cream cheese)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon (1.5 g) Splenda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Keto Pie Crust, prebaked
FOR THE STRAWBERRY LAYER:
- 1 pound (455 g) frozen, unsweetened strawberries
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1/4 cup (6 g) Splenda
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
Method
- To make the cheese layer: Using an electric mixer, beat the Neufchatel cheese, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon 1 g Splenda, and the vanilla together until very smooth and fluffy
- Smooth evenly over the bottom of the prebaked pie shell
- To make the strawberry layer: Put the strawberries, water, the 1/4 cup (6 g) Splenda, and lemon juice in a saucepan
- Bring to a boil, then turn down to low, and let it simmer until the strawberries are soft
- Use a whisk to coarsely mash the strawberries
- Now, stir with the whisk in a circle while you sprinkle the gelatin over the surface of the strawberry mixture, a little at a time
- Your trying to make sure that all the gelatin dissolves thoroughly, instead of leaving chewy little gelatin seeds in your finished pie
- Turn the heat off and let the strawberry mixture cool until its getting syrupy
- Pour or spoon the mixture over the cream cheese layer and then put the pie in the fridge for at least several hours before serving
