This pie makes a cool, refreshing treat for the summertime. It is also quick and simple to make. I got the recipe from my friend Katie. It was served at her bridal shower and everyone loved it. If you want to make one really quick just use a boughten graham cracker crust or I have included a recipe for making a homemade one. I like to freeze the pie and serve it after it thaws a few minutes, then it's like a frozen yogurt treat. You can mix and match different flavors, you just use the same flavor of Jello and yogurt. I made mine strawberry. FYI: I made the filling and used it for a fruit dip too and it was great.
Recipe:
1 8 oz container of Cool Whip, thawed
2 6 oz containers of yogurt (same flavor as Jello)
4 Tbsp Jello
Mix together and pour into a graham cracker pie crust. Put in the fridge at least a few hours before serving or freeze.
Graham cracker pie crust:
16 graham crackers, crushed finely
(you'll need 1 1/2 c of crumbs per 9" pie crust)
6 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 c sugar
Put the graham crackers in a sealed plastic bag. Then crush them finely with a rolling pin. Add melted butter and sugar, mix together. Press into a pie plate and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 min.
do you keep this in the fridge if you aren't going to eat it right away?
ReplyDeleteSo you just mix the 4 Tbsp of the jello powder in with the yogurt and cool whip?
ReplyDeleteyes, just use the jello powder
