Spring has sprung, and I like to go with lighter desserts this time of year.  I took two pies to our last dinner club and got rave reviews on them!  I thought I would share the recipes with everyone.

Strawberry Pie

8 oz of cream cheese (I use low fat)

1/3 c sugar

½ c sour cream

1 t vanilla

2 pints of strawberries

8 oz of Kool Whip

Graham Cracker Crust

Wash berries. Slice. Put 1T sugar on them and let them sit while you prepare the filling. Beat cream cheese and  1/3  cup sugar together until consistent. Stir in sour cream and vanilla, then strawberries.  Fold in Kool Whip. Pour into graham cracker crust. Chill for four hours.

KEY LIME PIE

2  - 14 oz cans of sweetened condensed milk ( I use low fat, if that makes you feel better)

1 cup of fresh lime juice

2 eggs

Graham Cracker Crust

Combine the milk and eggs. Beat well, then add the lime juice. Beat well.  Pour in crust and bake at 325 for 15 minutes. Let cool, then chill for two hours before serving. 

You can add this topping, but I don't.

1 c sour cream combined with 2 T powdered sugar and 1 T lime zest.
