Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberry yogurt and Cool Whip until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth out to the edges.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap securely.
- Refrigerate overnight to set.
- Just before serving, defrost frozen strawberries and place them on top of the pie.
Tips & Substitutions
For an added flavor twist, consider using vanilla or peach yogurt instead of strawberry. You can also substitute the Cool Whip with whipped cream for a lighter texture. If you prefer a firmer pie, allow it to set for an additional couple of hours in the fridge. Make sure to use a deep dish graham cracker crust for ample filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful yogurt pie chilled for a refreshing dessert. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For a more festive presentation, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top or serve alongside Diane'S Delight for a sweet treat combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to freeze it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn, and consume within a month for best quality. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
