"Mock" Sour Cream Raisin Pie
A creamy raisin pie with a subtle vanilla flavor, topped with a baked pastry shell, perfect for a simple dessert or a comforting treat for raisin lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix skim milk, plain yogurt, sugar free vanilla pudding mix, and ground allspice until smooth.
- Fold in raisins and pour the mixture into the baked pastry shell.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat yogurt instead of plain yogurt. You can substitute almond milk for skim milk for a nutty flavor. If you want to add a little crunch, try folding in some crushed nuts or granola. This pie makes a great dessert alternative to traditional options like Fat-Free Mocha Fudge Cake or Cling Peach Upside-Down Cake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of Country Vanilla Ice Cream for a delightful contrast. Consider serving it after a light meal, such as a Tomato-Feta Frittata, for a satisfying finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its freshness, cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil. This pie is best served chilled and does not require reheating, but you can enjoy it slightly warmed for a different experience, if desired.
