Low Calorie Pie Recipes for Dieters Seeking Weight Loss
English Walnut Angel Pie, a Low Calorie Pie Recipe
Our creamy English Walnut Angel Pie goes together in a wink.
Commercially prepared walnut pie contains well over 500 calories per slice, with gourmet walnut pies heading towards the 4-digit calorie marker. Yikes! Try our delicious Gourmet English Walnut Angel Pie instead for a skinny 269 calories. Saving calories never tasted so good.
Opting for the light, low fat, lower calorie yogurt keeps a lid on calories so seek out yogurt containing 110 calories or less when making this low calorie pie recipe.
After preparing the filling, choose any of the lower calorie pie crust recipes detailed below to create your own, personalized diet pie that doesn't take anything like a diet! Or, use a ready-made shell to create a low calorie pie in a flash.
Basic Ingredients Low Calorie Pie Recipe for Pie Filling
- 2 single serving containers of vanilla flavored yogurt (about 100 calories per serving = 200 calories total)
- 1/2 small container of light whipped topping (15 calories per serving = 188 calories total)
- 1/2 cup of chopped English Walnuts (383 calories)
- 1/3 cup of brown sugar (279 calories)
Gently combine yogurt, English Walnuts, brown sugar and whipped topping. Simply spoon the filling into your pie crust selection from the list below.
Although using the recipe for our low calorie graham pie crust can save calories, we recommend using an all-purpose flour pie crust for 100 calories per serving. When using an all-purpose flour crust, a 1/8th serving of our English Walnut Angel Pie contains about 231 calories.
Create a gourmet pie by dusting the top of the pie with a few chopped English Walnuts. For a decadent pie containing a few more calories, add 300 calories worth of light whipped topping to the filling; pie should serve 8 generously for about 269 calories when using an all-purpose flour pie crust.
Pie Calorie Calculations Based on 6 Servings Per Pie
This low calorie pie recipe contains about 262 calories per generous slice (1/6th of whole pie) when using our homemade graham cracker crust recipe below. If you opt to use another crust, to calculate calories simply add the calories contained in the pie filling above to those in the pie crust you selected for your pie. Divide the total number of calories by the amount of slices in the pie (generally 6-8 slices per pie).
Pie Crust Recipes & Suggestions
Ready Made Pie Crusts - So many to choose from these days, from traditional graham cracker to chocolate graham cracker to vanilla graham cracker to traditional pie crusts to puff pasty & filo dough wonderments! Always check the label for calorie content, particularly where traditional pie crusts are concerned as they can contain as few as 100 calories per serving (slice) to almost 200 calories per serving.
Keep in mind that our pie fillings are very low in calories and the crust will generally contain more calories than our fillings. Also keep in mind the number of servings you wish to serve - 6 or 8? This number makes the calories in the pie crust a very important decision.
Traditional Pie Crust - If using traditional pie crust dough, if pie shell is frozen, thaw as directed on package. Next, on a working surface dusted very lightly with flour, roll the dough as thin as possible. If dough comes packaged in a pie tin, remove to work the dough. By rolling the dough as thin as possible, you can almost half the calorie content. After rolling, place in a pie tin or baking plate. Bake as directed on package. Check label to assist in determining calories. Always cool pie crust completely before adding filling.
Homemade Graham Cracker Pie Crust - contains about 65 calories per 8 servings OR about 87 calories per 6 servings.
-
Ingredients for lower calorie graham cracker pie crust:
-
1 cup of crushed graham crackers, any variety or flavor (about 355 calories)
-
2 Tablespoons of margarine (about 120 calories when using 60 calorie per serving margarine)
-
3 Teaspoons of sugar (about 48 calories) OR use Splenda for 0 calories
Spray pie plate with cooking spray so that crust is easily removed at serving time. Pour graham crackers in the center of the pie plate. Top with warm but not hot melted margarine. Add sugar. Stir gently with spoon until crackers are moistened, then press to form crust. Use a sheet of plastic wrap to protect hands if desired while forming crust, or a couple of small plastic bags.
Puff Pastry Pie Crust - One puff pastry shell contains about 223 calories while one sheet of puff pastry dough contains about 1,369 calories. When using puff pasty as your crust, try to limit crust to 1/2 sheet. Spray pie plate with cooking spray before filling with dough for easier removal upon serving. Cool completely before adding filling.
Light Cream Cheese Pie Crust - Soften 1 small 3-ounce package of light cream cheese. Add 1/4 cup of whipped margarine to cream cheese and mix with a spoon or fork until smooth. Add 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour. Combine, then roll into shape of pie crust. Spray pie plate before baking in a 350-degree preheated oven for easier serving. Entire recipe contains about 800 calories.
Angel Pie Crust - Beat 2 egg whites in a chilled bowl with 1/3 teaspoon of cream of tartar until stiff. Slowly add 3 Tablespoons of sugar OR use Splenda for 0 calories. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or imitation vanilla. Spoon into a glass pie plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray, and use the spoon to form the crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350-degrees until light golden brown. Cool completely before adding filling. Angel Pie Crust contains about 80 calories when using sugar.
