- Y'all, I have been having request
0:04
to share recipes with y'all from "Paula Dean Cuts the Fat."
0:08
And did somebody request
0:10
a healthier version of the strawberry pie?
0:13
- [Assistant] No, just they've been looking for us-
0:14
- Okay. - To do some healthy versions.
0:17
- Yes, some healthy versions.
0:24
a reduced calorie strawberry pie.
0:28
So I hope that y'all enjoy this.
0:31
Now what I'm gonna do is
0:34
I am using a zero sugar
0:41
So I'm gonna put that in my pan.
0:43
I'm gonna mix it with coin starch
0:47
'cause that's gonna make a thick syrup for us.
0:56
And now I'm gonna add one cup of water
1:05
and I'm gonna let this simmer
1:09
until it starts to get a little thick
1:15
and then we're gonna have to let it cool.
1:18
In this recipe that cuts the fat, it tells you to use
1:23
or I tell you to use a refrigerated pie crust.
1:26
I happen to love a refrigerated pie crust
1:32
and in the recipe, it tells you the instructions
1:36
My favorite cutting board in the whole world
1:38
is this is one of my cutting boards,
1:42
and it has your pie crust measurer.
1:48
that it tells me an eight inch,
1:52
where the eight inch should be,
1:53
the nine inch, and the 10 inch.
1:57
But that's what you would do.
2:00
Or you can do like we have done and use
2:05
a frozen pie crust that we have baked off.
2:10
Alright, so our gelatin
2:14
and water and corn starch has thickened.
2:21
And I tell you to just stir this for a couple more minutes
2:27
after you put it in another dish.
2:34
So we're gonna let that cool maybe for 15 minutes or so.
2:39
And while that's cooling,
2:42
I am going to take our pie crust
2:46
and start lining it with our strawberries.
2:49
You can do this any way you want to.
2:54
The most important is the very top,
2:58
the very top of the pie.
3:01
You'll wanna make sure
3:06
your strawberries are in a pretty fashion.
3:08
And I think we've got a picture of it
3:12
in the book, right Eddie?
3:15
- [Paula] Can you flip that for us?
3:36
- [Paula] Oh, yeah, look how pretty that is.
3:40
Now we used, in that recipe we used
3:46
a refrigerated pie dough, which I think are so pretty
3:49
'cause you can put it in your own pan and you can flute
3:57
or press your crust with a fork.
4:00
You know, you can take as much time and do
4:06
anything you want to.
4:07
Using a frozen pie crust, you get what you get.
4:18
So y'all can see this,
4:20
absolutely no sugar going in this pie.
4:26
So I think for the top layer,
4:29
I might turn most of 'em this a-way
4:34
to see that pretty, I don't know.
4:36
I'll do some each way.
4:41
It's all just pretty, pretty, pretty.
4:45
All right, y'all, Eddie told me, he said,
4:49
"I don't think you gonna have enough syrup
4:50
for that many strawberries."
4:53
I had pushed it to the limit, so I'm taking some out.
5:02
So now I'll just bake a pound cake
5:05
and we'll have strawberry shortcake
5:08
with the extra strawberries.
5:11
You think I took enough out, Eddie?
5:14
Got me thinking about that Show Me's big boy.
5:17
- Yeah. - Strawberry pie
5:18
that was like up to there.
5:20
- [Eddie] Well you could double
5:21
the gelatin I guess if you want.
5:22
- [Paula] You know, want and I think, yeah,
5:23
I think that's what you would need to do
5:28
is double the gelatin.
5:33
Has it been 15 minutes?
5:36
- [Eddie] And this one's cuts the fat.
5:38
- Yes. - So nothing excessive.
5:41
You're thinking your old ways.
5:43
- [Paula] You're right, nothing excessive.
5:50
So sometimes I forget when I'm doing cut the fat recipes
5:54
that I remember to cut the fat. (chuckles)
6:04
So I think this is plenty cool enough.
6:08
So I'm just gonna pour that
6:13
over our strawberries as easily
6:27
Pie time, y'all. (laughs)
6:29
This is a "Cut the Fat" recipe.
6:32
Remember there's no sugar in this,
6:36
but I am gonna splurge
6:38
by using a heavy sweetened whipped cream
6:41
and y'all, it's 20 calories for two tablespoons.
6:45
So you know, to me that's pretty good.
6:53
Why are you looking at me like that, Pee Paw ?
6:56
- [Michael ] 'Cause you just said it was a ugly piece of pie
6:59
and I know who gets the ugly pieces.
7:03
Well, shove that plate aside.
7:09
- [Michael ] Do you know how you cut a little pizza?
7:13
- [Michael ] Little Caesars.
7:19
You got some of the corniest dad jokes.
7:22
So tell me you could eat that
7:24
without feeling guilty, Michael.
7:27
- [Michael ] I'm gonna say yes already.
7:30
- And I want y'all to make sure you see
7:32
how I cut that piece of foil.
7:35
Like I said, the next piece I cut
7:37
is going to be much easier.
7:41
- [Michael ] Well, that's good.
7:43
- Good, I'm glad you like it.
7:46
You know, the only calories you really have is in the crust.
7:52
So you can eat it off the crust.
7:53
- [Michael ] I could stay on this diet.
7:55
- You could. (laughs)
7:58
- Pie diet. - I know it.
8:00
You're a pie and cookie and cake man, aren't you?
8:04
- [Michael] I could live off cookies, I think.
8:08
I knew I was marrying the cookie monster.
8:12
When he came into my kitchen
8:16
and was eating my dog's treats.
8:20
- I did. - He was a cookie monster.
8:24
- I did do that one night. - Yes, you did.
8:29
- [Michael] They weren't that good.
8:31
- Oh, I know. (laughs)
8:33
- Then I was chasing the mailman.
8:40
Look at Theresa out there.
8:41
She's just directing.
8:44
