Low Carb Flag Cheese Pie

It's always hard to accept the fact that you have to change your lifestyle.


When my youngest son found out he had diabetes, that was life-changing.


Making foods without sugar delicious was a whole new journey of recipe creation.


This lower carb flag cheese pie became one of his favorites and the family loves it too!


The basic recipe can be made to be festive and any theme just by changing it into a colorful pattern of fruits.

Lower Carb Cheese Pie

Every year I try and make the holiday table as festive as possible.


This year I decided it had to be sugar-free since my youngest son developed diabetes.


I can't wait to see his face light up with his favorite sugar-free cheese pie. You could even do this crustless.


I prefer to make a thin wheat crust ( recipe at the bottom).


The filling is easy to whip up and fast to put together.


Either way, it's a Patriotic festive way to celebrate the day.


Perfect for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Veterans Day and even Labor Day!

Anyone can make this easy lower-carb cheese pie!

You don't have to be a baker at all.


The easy instructions to make this super simple Flag shaped pie just requires a rectangular glass or metal pan.


You can even use a throwaway pan and make clean-up a breeze!

Easy Tips

Make a wheat crust for fewer carbs and shape it into strips using a pastry cutter with fluted edges.


Cool the crust completely.


Fill the cooled crust with the cream cheese filling.


Spread the filling with whipped cream.


Add the stars and stripes crust.


Place the blueberries in the corner in a straight line.


Slice the strawberries and make sure they are all around the same size.


If you love other fruits, use slices of fresh peaches, kiwi, cherries, apples, pears and anything else in moderation you like.


Always take into consideration the sugar content in those fruits to keep the recipe diabetic friendly.


This is an easy dessert and so pretty!

Get Creative

You can make this filling in any pan you prefer, it doesn't have to be a flag pie.


The crust and the cheese filling are terrific together.


A smooth not too sweet pie that everyone will love.


Any fruits go great on top and you can turn this into any fruit pie your family loves.


We just wanted to make a favorite pie Patriotic and festive for the holiday times.


If you don't need a sugar-free recipe just add real sugar and use regular pie crust.

Just remember just because it's low in sugar, natural sugar is in fruit so it's never 100% sugar-free and everything needs to be in moderation if you're diabetic, check with your doctor for more information or with a nutritionist.
