  • 1 1/2 cups sliced, fresh strawberries

4. In electric blender or food processor container, place cottage cheese, the 1/4 cup sugar, banana, 1/2 cup of the strawberries and hot gelatin. Process until completely smooth.

5. Pour half cheese mixture into pie shell. Arrange 1/2 cup strawberries over surface. Gently pour remaining cheese mixture over strawberries. Garnish pie with remaining strawberries and blueberries. Chill until set, about 2 hours.
