1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 28, 2020Reviewer: Barbara in Florida* Wish I would have listened to the bad reviews! YUCK. I bought three packages of this stuff. Horrible. Rubbery. Ruined my sugar free pie...went in garbage.

February 16, 2015Reviewer: Jan in Indiana* I have been trying to find a decent pie crust mix or recipe for years. This Carb Counters product wins the award for the WORST pie crust mix I've experienced. I was looking forward to a sugar free apple pie (made with no sugar added Duncan Hines apple pie mix purchased here and it's delicious). Sadly we've had to pick the pie mix out of the crust in order to not waste the entire experiment. I would never purchase this product again.

January 18, 2013Reviewer: Chris in Minnesota* Didn't taste at all like pie crust, and seemed very salty to me. As others have done, we ended up eating the filling out of the pie crust and chucking the rest of the crust. Maybe if I add some sweetener or something to it, the other two packages will be salvageable... big maybe.

March 18, 2012Reviewer: Lydia in Texas* Need a low carb pie crust? This is the best I've found in over a year of searching. I've tried making my own and using other brands of low carb bake mixes. This one is the one I like best.

January 23, 2012Reviewer: Andrea in Florida* I haven't written a review before but didn't want anyone else to waste their money on this crust. It was so bad we ate the filling and gave the rest to the dog, of course the dog will eat anything! We threw the other 2 crusts out, what a waste of money!

3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 02, 2010Reviewer: Justine in West Virginia* I really love this stuff, lol! Very easy to use (I just press it with my fingers). It is not *exactly* like my mom's, but is actually way better than store bought, so I'm not going to argue. I've been lo carbing for close to a decade, and I've missed pies. A lot. This is a huge help!!

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 13, 2008Reviewer: dorothea in Rhode Island* This is not only over priced it tastes bad and has bad texture, rubbery, saw-dust like...all in all pretty foul. Carbquik is much better and just as easy to make crust with. They also only give enough mix for 3 crusts...I guess one pie gets no top! Nasty over priced and not worth it!

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 09, 2008Reviewer: Lauren in Georgia* I used this to make a low-carb pumpkin pie that turned out great! I substituted egg beaters and smart balance to make it even healthier. The crust baked nicely (although a bit thicker than expected) and tasted very close to the real thing. I will buy this again in the future.

January 07, 2008Reviewer: Leslie in Illinois* I used this crust to make a low-carb pumpkin pie and was quite impressed. It was very easy to work with and the result quite close to conventional pie crust. It won't rival your Grandma's blue-ribbon flaky crust, but compared to other commercial mixes/doughs, etc., I think it holds up very well. (I have not tried making a two-crust pie with it, however, so I cannot comment on how well it might work for that.)

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulDecember 15, 2007Reviewer: Helen in Florida* This is the easiest pie crust I've ever made...light and flaky and tender. Works well with dinner type fillings or fruit fillings. You won't be disappointed! If I'm in a rush for dinner I whip up one of these crusts, pre-bake it for about 10 minutes at 375º, then mix cooked chicken or drained tuna with a can of mushroom soup, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of half and half, a cup of frozen veggies and pour it into the unbaked shell, then pop it into a 375º oven for about 30 minutes.

October 31, 2007Reviewer: Nancy in Pennsylvania* Great pie crust mix.

October 28, 2007Reviewer: star in California* I use Press n Bake crust mix to make homemade pies and quiche. It is the best.
-
September 21, 2007Reviewer: DEANNA in Mississippi* I used the Dixie Diner pie crust mix with the Dixie Diner mousse mix to make a chocolate cream pie. The crust was crisp and didn't go soggy after a day or so. It remained firm and held together until the pie was gone.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 17, 2007Reviewer: Susanne in Wyoming* My husband is striving to eat low carb with me, but he struggles to avoid old 'treats' - like pie, for example. I have tried several low carb pie crust recipes, which turned out adequate. Then I discovered this product. He loves it - best low carb pie crust we've had yet. It's even a bit flaky (like the real thing) and has a good mouth feel and taste. I highly recommend this product and I will continue to order it regularly as he is a big pie fan and Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming soon!

September 12, 2007Reviewer: Jennifer in Michigan* I made two pies using this. It is easy to mix and press into a pie plate. It gives the appearance of "real" pie crust, but the taste, for me, is way off. It is eggy, and a bit spongy (as opposed to a flaky pie crust). My family would not eat the pies made with this product and I don't blame them. I had a hard time eating it too.
-
August 31, 2007Reviewer: Garry in Michigan* Not bad for a low carb version of a pie crust. I used it for a cheesecake and it was OK.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulAugust 09, 2007Reviewer: Stephanie in Maryland* This product ended up being easier and tastier than any homemade almond or nut crust that I have ever made on my own. The only reason I can't give it five stars, is because it was quite salty. I say this as someone who uses a lot of salt normally.
If I were to buy it again, I'd add some almond flour to lighten up the taste and spread out the salt.
The texture, however, was right on.

May 31, 2007Reviewer: Ronda in Ohio* I was surprised by how good this was. I used it to make a cream pie, and it tasted a lot like a cookie-type crust. Will buy it again!
-
April 01, 2007Reviewer: steven in Ohio* Not a lot of regular crust flavor, but great crust texture and when using as a pie crust it does the job.

March 15, 2007Reviewer: janet in Missouri* Taste is GREAT and super easy to make! We made quiche today and the crust was PERFECT! A+++++++++ ++++++ !!!!!
