Cheap Pies for the Holidays

October 28, 2013 by EverydayDiabeticRecipes Leave a Comment

With the holidays fast approaching, you might be starting to think about how to build up your holiday menu. While you may be tempted to skip dessert to save a few bucks, we’ve got some budget-friendly pie recipes that’ll go easy on your wallet. We love using sugar-free gelatin mixes to make pie not only because they’re so cheap but because they won’t make you feel bloated after eating them!

We’ve got a few diabetic-friendly pie recipes that we know you’re going to love, especially since most of them only require a handful of ingredients. Less shopping=more money you’ll save this holiday season. Check out the tasty gelatin pie recipes we’ve got in store.

We love this Creamy Lime Pie because of its unexpected chocolate cookie crust. It’s like having two desserts in one!

Crustless Lemon Cream Pie

Your family might think you made this cheap pie using magic ’cause it doesn’t have a crust! Plus, this Crustless Lemon Cream Pie only takes about five minutes to throw together, so you’re not spending all your time in the kitchen.

Orange Cream Pie

Forget about the chilly weather outside for an evening ’cause our Orange Cream Pie has got a burst of flavor that’ll take you on a mini tropical getaway. We love how a cheap pie like this brightens up the table. Wouldn’t you agree?

Light & Airy Raspberry-Rhubarb Pie

If you’ve never tried the combination of raspberry and rhubarb before, you’re in for a real treat. Our Light & Airy Raspberry-Rhubarb Pie has a great burst of fruity flavor that makes it the perfect palate-cleansing dish!

Not only do all of these pies use gelatin mixes (allowing them to easily fit into your budget), but they add a light touch after a big meal, so you’re not uncomfortably full the rest of the day. Plus, they’re diabetic friendly, so no one in the family has to miss out!
