Blackberry Chiffon Pie
Low Carb Recipe
By Fitness and Freebies
The main stars of this recipe are the sweet fresh blackberries and the cream cheese. Sugar substitute sweetens while gelatin powder pulls it all together.
Recipe Ingredients
1 envelope plain gelatin powder, unsweetened
1/2 cup sugar substitute
1/4 teaspoon lemon oil
6 ounces blackberries -- fresh
Water
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
Recipe Directions
Mix Splenda and berries, breaking berries, and let sit for 1/2 hour.
Cook berry and sugar substitute mixture over low heat, stirring almost continuously, until berries are completely broken and juice is released. Force through a narrow mesh sieve (or cheesecloth) to remove seeds. Measure mixture and microwave for 20 seconds.
Dissolve gelatin in hot berry juice and add enough cold water to bring total liquid to 2/3 cup. Mix in lemon oil. Slowly add the cream cheese and beat at slow speed. When all cream cheese has been added, beat at high speed until smooth. Blend in whipped cream, mixing at low speed.
Using a spatula, scrape into the pie pan, and spread around. Chill for at least two hours.
