Are you ready for this……these mini pies are one point each with Freestyle! ONE POINT EACH!!!!
Part of the reason they are only 1 point each is because they are mini. I used a mini muffin pan for these so they are almost more of a cookie size.
One thing I do recommend is using low fat vanilla ice cream or fat free whipped cream.
I opted to use ice cream. It was so good! I used a melon baller to scoop out the ice cream. I didn’t even use a full scoop, just a sliver.
I used a two inch cookie cutter for the pie crust. I was able to get 27 mini pies with a few scraps leftover.
When I say I used a cookie cutter it was actually a Snoopy glass that had a two inch opening. Basically, it doesn’t matter what you use, just make sure it’s two inches.
