Lesa Says

 

 If you don't care for the flavor of honey, feel free to use all sugar. For less calories, use light sour cream.  If you have no fresh strawberries, use frozen--  thawed, of course.  

Dress up your slice of pie with a drizzle of strawberry sauce, sprinkling of chocolate shavings and/or fresh berries.

To me, this is fruity panna cotta in a crust but my little one calls it 'Strawberry Smoothie Pie'.  No matter what you call it, this pie will cool you off in a most delicious way!   

Enjoy!
