Kiwi Strawberry low fat pie


I love desserts but that means adding to the daily quota of calories.  So I keep experimenting with low fat desserts and when I succeed there, I simply jump with joy or in this case share the recipe with the world.  Kiwi and Strawberry pie is also one of those desserts which you can eat without feeling too guilty as there is no cream or condensed milk in it.

Ingredients:
Marie light biscuits 15, 1 ½  tsp of olive oil or canola oil, 2 cups of low fat milk, 5 tsp of custard powder (vanilla), sugar 2 tbsp, hung yogurt 1 cup, milk powder 3 tsp, powdered sugar 1 ½ tsp (increase the quantity if you like it sweeter), kiwi 2, strawberry 3,

Method:
Break biscuits with your hand and then powder them in a mixer.
Take out this powder in a bowl, add oil and mix well.  Take a pie plate and put this mixture on the pie plate by pressing it with your hand. Bake it in 180C (300F) for ten minutes.
In the meanwhile, boil milk, reduce the flame to low.  In a cup of cold water add custard powder and mix it well with a spoon so that no lumps are left.  Add this to the already boiled milk and stir till it begins to thicken.  Turn off the flame, add sugar and mix well.
Pour this thick custard on the baked pie plate.  Let it cool off.  Put it in the freezer for  two hours or till it is set.
Take hung yogurt in a small bowl, add milk powder and powdered sugar and beat with a whisk till the mixture turns creamy like condensed milk consistency.
Pour this creamy yogurt on the top of set custard pie and put it back in the freezer for another hour or so.
Peel off the kiwi and cut into thin wheels.  Wash and cut strawberry into any shape you like.
Decorate the pie with cut kiwi and strawberry and put in the refrigerator till you are ready to serve or enjoy it yourself.

Note: 2 cups of plain yogurt makes one cup of hung yogurt.
 If you don't have Marie biscuits, any less sugary light biscuits will do.
