Preparation
Step 1
Place frozen berries in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced to 1/2 cup and as thick as jam, about 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk or stir with a fork to break up any large berry pieces. Stir in lemon juice and let cool.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and yogurt until smooth. Beat in vanilla, EZ-Sweetz, cooked berry puree, and salt. Fold fresh berries into cream cheese and yogurt mixture. Spread evenly in baked pie shell and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Filled pie can be refrigerated for 24 hours. Store filling and crust separately for longer storage. Top with Whipped Cream sweetened with EZ-Sweetz and garnish with a berry.
