Ingredients

  • Crust

    • 8 whole graham crackers

    • 2/3 cup unprocessed wheat bran

    • 2 tablespoons sugar

    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

    • 2 egg whites

  • Filling

    • 1/3 cup cornstarch

    • 1/3 cup sugar

    • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    • 3 1/2 cups nonfat milk

    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    • 16 strawberries, hulled

Directions

  • Preheat an oven to 350°F and coat a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  • To make the crust, process the graham crackers and wheat bran into fine crumbs using a food processor. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and egg whites and process again until all the crumbs have dampened.

  • Put the mixture in the pie pan and firmly press it over the bottom and sides of the pan.

  • Bake the crust until it has browned lightly, about 15 minutes. Cool the crust completely, about 1 hour.

  • To make the filling, sift the cornstarch, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in the milk.

  • Place the pan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking frequently, until it thickens and boils, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture boil gently, whisking constantly, for about 2 minutes.

  • Remove the mixture from the heat and press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes.

  • Remove the paper when the filling has cooled and stir in the vanilla. Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.

  • Cut the pie into wedges and garnish with the strawberries to serve.
