¼ cup quick-cooking tapioca
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups blackberries

Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 4 Hours 40 Minutes

Ingredients

Crust:

½ (15 ounce) package Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust

Filling:

1 cup fat-free milk, divided
1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
¼ cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
2 (6 ounce) containers Yoplait® Light Fat Free very vanilla yogurt

Strawberry Sauce:

¼ cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (10 ounce) package Cascadian Farm® frozen organic strawberries, thawed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 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 ½ cup of milk into a medium saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over milk and let stand 1 minute. Stir in remaining ½ 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.

Banana Cream Pie

Prep Time: 35 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Serves:8 servings

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 12 graham cracker squares (6 full sheets)
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
• 3 tablespoons boiling water
• 1/3 cup, plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cups 1 percent lowfat milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups sliced banana (3 medium bananas)
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. In a food processor, process graham crackers until finely ground. Add butter and 1 tablespoon of water, and process until the crumb clumps together. Press crumb mixture into bottom of pie plate and about 1/2-inch up the sides. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then let cool.

In the meantime, make the filling. Put the gelatin in a small bowl; add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/3 cup of sugar and the flour. In a medium bowl lightly beat the milk and eggs together. Add the egg and milk mixture to the saucepan and whisk so the flour and sugar dissolve. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes, until mixture comes to a boil and has thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract and gelatin. Set aside to cool slightly.

Arrange the sliced bananas on the graham cracker crust and pour the pudding on top. Place in the refrigerator until the pudding has set, about 3 hours.
