Really yummy light pie!!!

This is another Taste of Home recipe that we really like, especially in the summer!  It's really good even without the spreadable fruit.

Light Lemon Pie

INGREDIENTS

    * 1 package (.3 ounces) sugar-free lemon gelatin
    * 1/2 cup boiling water
    * 3/4 cup cold water
    * Sugar substitute equivalent to 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
    * 1 cup (8 ounces) 1% cottage cheese
    * 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat Cool Whip® whipped topping, thawed
    * 1 reduced-fat graham cracker crust (8 inches)
    * 1/2 cup 100% strawberry spreadable fruit
    * 8 large strawberries, halved

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water and sugar substitute. Refrigerate until partially set.
    In a fine strainer, drain the cottage cheese. Place cottage cheese in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; stir in gelatin mixture. Fold in whipped topping.
    Pour into crust. Refrigerate until set. Just before serving, cut into slices; garnish each with 1 tablespoon spreadable fruit and two strawberry halves. Yield: 8 servings.
