I will have to try with the pudding mix. If you can't live without the crust, here is a recipe I have been using.

3 cups strawberries
9 sheets fillo dough
2 tbsp corn starch
1 1/4 cup water
1 small box strawberry sugar free jello.

Spray fillo sheet with "I can't believe it's not butter" spray. Fold each fillo sheet 1/3 way down, then again 1/3, making sheet 3 layers thick. Cut in half, and stack halves. You will have something close to a square, 6 layers thick. Spray muffin pan with pam. Put stack of fillo dough in muffin tin. I set one of the silicone muffin holders on top of the fillo dough to keep it from creating air bubbles as it bakes. Repeat process for 8 remaining sheets. Bake pie crusts at 375 for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.

Mix water & corn starch. Mixture will be milky looking. Heat to boil, stirring constantly. Heat until mixture becomes clear and glossy. Remove from heat and add jello. Sir well.

Divide strawberries into 9 pie crusts. Spoon jello mixture over strawberries. Set in refrigerator 30 minutres or until set. Each pie has only 52 calories. Add 2 tbsp fat free reddi whip. A real strawberry pie, crust and all for under 60 calories.

The only bad thing about fillo dough is that tends to collect moisture. So after a day in the refrigerator, the crust is no longer light and flakey but looks like a wet paper towel. I make the crusts and put them in an airtight container and leave un-refrigerated. I put the strawberries and jello in muffin tins and leave them in the refrigerator. You can assemble each pie whenever you want a snack, or desert.

Depends on how many strawberries you can pack into the shell, but they average around 52-55 calories per pie. Add 2 tbsp fat free Reddi Whip, they are around 60 calories.
