Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier flavor, consider using a flavored yogurt, like lemon or berry, instead of plain. If you prefer a lighter texture, you can fold in some whipped cream or use low-fat yogurt. Make sure to let the pie thaw for about 15 minutes before serving for easier slicing. This pie is reminiscent of the popular American recipes like Lemon Fluff.
