Sugar Free Blueberry Icebox Pie Ingredients

-- Crust --	2 tablespoons Lemon juice - one med. lemon
1/2 cup graham crackers - low fat	1 envelope Gelatin - plain
1 cup Bran cereal - I used Fiber One	8 ounces Low fat cream cheese - one package
2 teaspoons Splenda	8 ounces Fat Free cream cheese - one package
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon - optional	14 ounces Sugar Free Condensed Milk - recipe follows
1 medium Egg white - or 1/4 cup egg substitute	-- Topping --
-- Filling --	1/2 cup Blueberries
1 1/2 cups Blueberries - fresh or frozen (thawed)	1/2 cup Cool Whip - Sugar Free - optional

Instructions for Sugar Free Blueberry Icebox Pie

Start with the crust: Preheat oven to 350F (or make this while you are baking something else). Place the graham crakers, cereal, Splenda, and cinnamon in a food processor and grind them into crumbs. You may also use a large freezer bag and rolling pin to crush them if you wish. Mix in the egg white and pulse to mix into a crumbly consistency. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a sprayed, 9" spring form pan. Bake at 350 until it's firm and crispy (about 10 minutes). Allow to cool completely. This may be done ahead if you wish. To make sugar-free sweetened condensed milk: In a large bowl, combine a 12 ounce can of non-fat evaporated milk, 1 1/2 cups of non-fat dry milk, and 1/2 cup of Splenda. Mix thoroughly and chill. Keeps up to a week. The filling: This recipe works with blue - black - rasp - or straw(berries) equally well so use what's fresh in the market or what you have on hand in the garden/freezer. Puree the berries. Strain and combine with the lemon juice in a non-metallic bowl. I use the work bowl of the food processor. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes to soften and "bloom". Microwave the bowl for 10-20 seconds to warm the mixture and dissolve the gelatin. Add the cream cheese(s) and condensed milk then process until smooth. Allow this mixture to chill until it starts to thicken but is still pourable (10-20 mins). Pour (or scoop) the mixture over the prepared crust and allow to chill thoroughly (2 hours - overnight). Top with a thin layer of sugar-free whipped topping if desired. Garnish with a few berries just prior to serving. Alternatively you could put the topping in a pastry bag and pu**** through a star tip to make a design on the top. Puree the extra berries and drizzle them on as a garnish. Cut in moderatly thin slices (1/16 of the circle) to serve. Nutrition analysis based on recipe w/ Blueberries and optional topping.

That is rather interesting, black pepper.  Ok now I have to go to Walmart and get some BlackBerries and try the black pepper. Last year when DH and I got married we had our reception at a place that sells plants and many different fruits (all grown on the premises).  Any who I went in to pay my final payment on the rental of their Reception Building and they were bagging and selling blueberries....OMGosh these things were huge!!!!  They were about 3/4 the size of a ping pong ball, for real.  And so good.  I had to try one or two, just to see if they were good ones.  YUMMY!  They almost looked like MUSCADINES   sp :(   . 

I was watching Martha Stewart the other day and they were making a Blueberry pie.  She added a small amount of Black Pepper to the blueberries.... I thought it odd, but apparently it is supposed to make them taste better.  If someone trys it, let us know how it tastes.  I am allergic to blueberries, or I would do it.  It was just a pinch of ground black pepper.
