Berry Delicious!

This is a recipe for a pie that is diabetic friendly, but don't let that word spook you because this pie is chock full of berry goodness, and packed with flavor and extremely refreshing!! I came across this in a magazine and have loved on this recipe ever since!  The only change I made to this recipe is that I used graham cracker crust as opposed to zwieback. If you don't make this Creamy Deliciousness you need to be spanked... and it needs to be filmed... and then placed on YouTube ...
