Yogurt Pie

Here is a great idea/technique for quick and delicious pies! You gotta love pie!

This one takes seconds to mix but needs a chilling time of 4 hours or more, so plan ahead a little.

Every time I fix this wonderful pie for my family I feel like I am serving them something healthy. It has to be healthy if the word 'yogurt' must be healthy, right? It is in my mind at least, so please don't write me and try to disillusion me; let me have my dreams. 

I love to mix this one up. I vary the yogurt flavors depending on my mood for the day. Sometimes it will be strawberry (the classic), sometimes cherry, or lemon for a zesty summertime treat. When I am feeling daring I grab some Boston Cream pie flavor or Key Lime or even some dark rich chocolate delight. 

You really can't go wrong with this one no matter what flavor yogurt you use. Just choose a great fruit to work with the flavored yogurt, or if you want to be daring...try some candy pieces or chocolate chips instead of the fruit. Live a little and enjoy, who knows what kind of yummy combination you will come up with. 

If you create a favorite, please share it with me. I am always looking for the next 'favorite' recipe for my collection. 

                

Yogurt Pie

2  8 oz containers of your favorite fruit flavor yogurt
1/2 c of crushed fruit (I love to match my yogurt flavor and the fruit...cherry and cherry etc.)
1  8 oz container of whipped topping
1 graham cracker crust (these you can find in the baking section ready to use)

Combine the yogurt, fruit, and whipped topping by folding gently. Pour mixture into the graham cracker crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Serve. 

You can freeze the remaining pie, if there is any, and keep for fast and easy desserts.

Note: Try mixing it up. Use a chocolate graham cracker crust. Add different fruits. Try the dessert flavored yogurts and use chocolate chips instead of fruit. Top with chocolate syrup or fudge sauce. The possibilities are limitless. 

Here is one we liked with chocolate!
