- The challenge: Creating a fruit pie which is relatively low in carbohydrates. The solution: We used rhubarb, a relatively low-carb vegetable which cooks and tastes like fruit. Rhubarb is often paired with strawberries in a traditional springtime pie. But with frzn rhubarb and the year-round availability of strawberries, this pie can be enjoyed anytime. Blueberries or possibly raspberries may also be substituted for strawberries for variety. ThickenThin gives the pie consistency, and is the carboydrate controlled alternative to cornstarch. We've kept this version on the tart side, but if you prefer sweeter desserts, add in an extra packet or possibly two of sugar substitute. This pie is delicious topped with whipped cream sweetened with sugar substitute or possibly Atkins Sugar Free Strawberry syrup.
