Awesome frozen raspberry pie!! I made a graham cracker crust just because I am not a fan of chocolate wafers and followed the recipe exactly and it was beautiful!! I am making a pineapple coconut version this weekend. I will call it a pina colada frozen pie. Pros: Easy to make refreshing delicious and low calorie! Cons: None!
Can I use other kind of fruits? I live in a country where rasbarry is very expensive! Maybe mango peaches or plums? I appreciate your answer. Ruthi
Couldn't you just use store bought chocolate cookie crust? Or would that change the flavor?
Put it this way I ate half a pie. I was with two other guys and when we looked at the pie you just cut it into four slices. We kid ourselves but the only way you are going to get 8 servings is if there are 8 people at the table and you do not want to be rude;). This is one of the best dessert out there and will work very well with the upcoming summer. You can even skip the pie crust and make a homemade "sorbet" out of this. This dish rocked!!
It looks better than it tastes. In a few ways this dessert didn't meet my expectations and that is the reason for my ok rating. Although a good dessert it lacks in some important qualities. As stated in the cons the crust is rock solid and is very hard to cut through. Second the filling is too bitter. I followed the recipe to a T. There is too much lemon/salt flavor in the filling. I was really hoping for a frozen sorbet type of flavor so if you are too this is not the dessert for you. This is the second time I've made it. I would make it again with more sugar in the filling and a different crust...perhaps using chocolate graham crackers for a base. Hope you find this review a help.:) It is worth a try I suppose but I wouldn't necessarily recommend the recipe. Pros: Overall for what it is this dessert is good. Cons: The crust is way to hard to cut you almost need to break out the chainsaw.
Ruthi I think this would work very well with your other local fruits but you probably would want to change the crust from chocolate to graham cracker crust. The second time you make it you might want to try adding a little bit of spice to your tropical fruit such as nutmeg ginger or cinnamon if you like spiced fruits but I'm sure it's great plain.
Heavenly Oh wow this is so good! I actually made it with strawberries which worked out really well. I also cut the sugar down to 1/3 cup and it was still nice and sweet. Love it! Pros: healthy low fat low calorie light refreshing
