    2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1/4 cup sugar
    Cooking spray

    Filling:
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 1/2 cups fat-free cottage cheese
    1/2 cup (4 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
    1/4 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 325°.

    To prepare crust, combine first 3 ingredients; toss with a fork until moist. Press into bottom and up sides of a 10-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray; chill.

    To prepare filling, combine 1/2 cup sugar and next 8 ingredients (1/2 cup sugar through egg yolks) in a blender, and process until smooth. Place cheese mixture in a large bowl. Place egg whites in a second large bowl; beat until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg white mixture into cheese mixture; pour into prepared crust.

    Bake at 325° for 45 minutes or until center barely moves when pan is touched. Cool to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.

    To prepare sauce, combine strawberries, 3 tablespoons sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Place strawberry mixture in a blender; process until smooth. Strain. Serve with pie

    Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge of pie and 3 tablespoons sauce)
