Recently I was out on a berry picking expedition but was only able to gather a small quantity of the desired blackberries.  Thankfully, I found some black raspberries and a few mulberries as well.  The total was not enough to make a full sized pie and then I realized that these tiny pies, made in the little graham cracker crusts, would be just as delicious and simple to make.  With no sugar added to the berries, this recipe is also diabetic friendly.  The idea worked out so well that I wanted to pass it along.



No Bake Fresh Berry Mini Pies

1.5 cups fresh berries such as blackberries, raspberries, or mulberries
1   cup water
1T   quick cooking tapioca
1   pkg sugar free raspberry jello
6 pack of  mini graham cracker crusts (such as Keebler "Ready Crusts")
Spray whipped cream (optional)


Gently wash the berries and dry on a paper towel.  Place them in a sauce pan with the water.  Cook over low heat until gently bubbling.  Stir in the tapioca and then the dry jello.  Continue to stir until slightly thickened.  Remove the pan from the heat and cool for an hour or so but do not let the mixture set up.  Spoon it into the graham cracker crusts.  Chill the pies until completely set and serve with whipped cream.

The following nutrition information calculation INCLUDES 2 tablespoons of the spray type whipped topping.  Take 20 calories off if you don't use the whipped cream.
