Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir boiling water into the gelatin in a large bowl for 2 minutes or until completely dissolved.
- Stir in frozen vanilla yogurt until melted.
- Stir in whipped topping and fresh or frozen berries.
- Refrigerate until the mixture mounds, then spoon into a crust if needed.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
- Garnish with shaved chocolate, additional whipped topping, and berries if desired.
- Store covered in the refrigerator.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for garnishing. If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen ones work well too; just ensure they are thawed and drained. You can also substitute the vanilla yogurt with Greek yogurt for added creaminess. Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to prevent any graininess in the final pie.
Serving Suggestions
This pie pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of grated chocolate for added elegance. Serve it alongside a light salad or fresh fruit for a refreshing meal. For a delightful contrast, enjoy it with a cup of coffee or a dessert wine. It also makes a great ending to a summer barbecue.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the pie becomes too soft, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for an additional hour before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change once thawed. Always cover it well to maintain freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other flavors of gelatin for this pie?
Absolutely! While raspberry or strawberry gelatin is recommended for its complementary flavor, you can experiment with other fruit flavors like cherry or peach. Just ensure the yogurt and berries match the chosen gelatin flavor for a cohesive taste.
Is it possible to make this pie dairy-free?
Yes, to make a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free yogurt alternative and ensure the whipped topping is also dairy-free. There are many coconut or almond milk-based options available that will work well in this recipe.
How can I make the pie crust from scratch?
For a homemade crust, combine 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup melted butter, then press the mixture into a pie pan and bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Allow it to cool before adding the filling for a delicious base that complements the pie beautifully.
