In reply to Ruth.

Hi Ruth,
I follow a keto diet myself and have changed some of these great recipes (thank you, Lynne and my own dessert lasagnes)
You can buy keto friendly cookies, like Choczero chocolate or vanilla creme cookies.. they’re like an oreo or vanilla sandwich cookie. Change the pudding to sugar free. Either use sugar free cool whip or make the stabilized whipping cream and a sugar substitute.
Hope that helps a little. Has saved me many a time with my chocolate sweet tooth! Good luck!
Thank you, Lynne for your great recipes and ideas!

In reply to Debby. Debby, since I haven't made a homemade strawberry pie filling, I don't feel comfortable giving you suggestions when I haven't tested it. That being said, I do have a Strawberry Pretzel Pie that does kind of have a strawberry filling. You can find it here, and if you were going to do that, I'd suggest making half of that Strawberry Layer Pie Filling. Otherwise, I'd just put fresh diced strawberries where the filling is called for in the recipe. Hope that helps, and enjoy it!

If you use fresh strawberries what would you need to do to them to get the same consistency as the canned strawberry pie filling or just cut them up and place them in the dessert?

I’ve made this one before and I seem to remember it being better. It wasn’t as good this time. I wish I hadn’t put it in the freezer… the pudding layer stayed way too frozen for too long while the other layerswere soft. I had moved it to the fridge 3 hours before we ate it.
The strawberry layer, I pulsed in food processor because we didn’t want big chunks and gel. We like it better slightly pureed. This time, the strawberry layer was bland… but I think it’s because I used the Walmart brand… meh.
It says 8×8, I used 9×9 and it was very full! I recommend you use a deep pan!

*update… after storing it in the fridge overnight, I like it a lot better! But I still won’t buy the Walmart brand of strawberry pie filling again.

In reply to Debbie.

Thank you so much, Debbie, I’m thrilled you like it!
You can actually keep it in the freezer, it will just be colder, of course, and may need to be thawed a bit in the fridge before serving.
Thanks for the feedback and the rating!

In reply to Lynne.

I’m glad you mentioned to keep in the refrigerator, as I kept it in the freezer overnight thinking this was a frozen dessert! It is absolutely DELICIOUS!! Thank you!

In reply to Monica howarth. Monica, yes, you would double the recipe when using a 9 X 13-inch pan. I hope everyone loves it!

In reply to Karen. Karen, I think this dessert would work as a trifle. Enjoy!
