Liked the filling. Disliked the crust. Think a cobbler form is better for me next time.
Hated the crust, but filling was good
Okay — not fabulous, and not at all terrible.
Is Pritikin just relying on the juices of the pie to bind that crust? Because the crust has no fat. It’s just crushed cornflakes?
Thanks for asking! Yes, this is intentionally a no-fat added recipe. Depending on your calorie budget and your personal eating plan, you may wish to add a wee bit of a binder, such as coconut oil, butter, or margarine, but just a tiny amount until the flakes hold together a bit. Or, keep the fat calories low and just add these cornflake crumbs to the bottom of individual ramekins, and then top with the berry mixture. The pies still bake, but cutting the “crust” won’t be an issue with your mini berry pies.
Thank you for making so many Pritikin recipes available. That’s a real good idea but I’m still gonna add a bit of butter so I can slice it more easily next time.
this wasn’t terrible, wasn’t great, and won’t be a repeat for us … i don’t think it’s possible to make a great pie and a low calorie pie … you can choose one or the other
