    top with your berries now , if you don't when its set the berries will not stay on speaking from experience!

    Slice into 8 slices serve immediatly or chill unitl ready to eat.

    serving - 1 slice

    counts as - 1 fruit and 1 starch
  • I wonder what would happen if you omitted the crust and sprinked crushed walnuts on the bottom instead. Could you omit the starch and add a fat?
  • I am guessing the the fat amount will be more then what your allowed in a day though.

    when I did the crust it took 3 whole graham crackers to make the entire pie
