Evelyn'S Creamy Yogurt Pie
A refreshing and creamy strawberry yogurt pie with a graham cracker crust, perfect for summer gatherings or a light dessert option that delights with fruity flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend the strawberry yogurt, Cool Whip, and condensed milk until smooth.
- Add the frozen strawberries to the mixture and stir gently.
- Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
- Place the pie in the freezer for 30 minutes or until frozen.
- Cut into slices and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider using fresh strawberries instead of frozen for a more vibrant taste. If you’re looking for a lighter option, substitute the Cool Whip with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free whipped topping. Ensure the graham cracker crust is well-pressed for better structure, and chill the pie longer if you prefer a firmer texture. This pie is also a great way to use up leftover yogurt from your fridge.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this creamy yogurt pie as a refreshing dessert after a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For a festive touch, garnish each slice with fresh mint leaves or additional strawberries. It’s perfect for summer gatherings or as a light treat alongside a slice of Myra'S Peanut Butter Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness. When ready to serve, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes for easier slicing. It can be kept frozen for up to two weeks, but for best flavor and texture, consume within a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of yogurt?
Absolutely! While strawberry yogurt is recommended for flavor, you can use any fruit-flavored yogurt or even plain yogurt if you prefer a less sweet pie. Just adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding a bit of sugar or honey to the mixture.
How long does it take to freeze the pie?
The pie should be frozen for at least 30 minutes to achieve a firm texture, but if you prefer a fully frozen pie, leave it in the freezer for 2-3 hours. Just be sure to let it sit out for a few minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.
Can I add other fruits to the pie?
Yes, you can definitely mix in other fruits! Blueberries, raspberries, or peaches can be great additions. Just ensure that the total amount of fruit doesn't exceed what the recipe calls for to maintain the right consistency.
