BGT 5/13

Yogurt Pie


This might be the simplest pie ever.  It's a great addition to a dessert table, and you can easily make it low-calorie and low-fat if you want to keep it in the freezer all to yourself. 

1 pie crust (I used graham cracker, but Oreo pie crusts taste delicious too!)
2 containers of yogurt
1 tub fat free cool whip, thawed

I use Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla, but you can use whatever you want.  Just keep in mind that using light/fat free will make it healthier if you feel the need to OD on the pie.. not that I ever have.. ha!  You can also go crazy with the flavors.  My mom uses Weight Watchers Amaretto Cheesecake and it is equally as delicious.  My grandma often uses a key lime mixed with a vanilla for a hint of flavor.  I've never tried using Greek yogurt in this recipe, so I can't speak to that.

In a mixing bowl, combine the 2 containers of yogurt and fold in the cool whip until it's [insert Elvis voice] all mixed up.  Carefully fold it into the pie crust and then pop it into the freezer until frozen.  (Usually about 3-4 hours.)  As an alternative, if you wanted to eat this right away, go for it.  You don't have to eat it frozen, but I find it has a nice taste and texture that way.

Enjoy!
