What’s “red, white and blue” and tastes like a dream?

“Oh say can you sing?!” This ‘Star Spangled’ Yogurt Pie‘ is what I’m sweetly singing about!  This luscious dessert is creamy, light and so pleasingly fresh and it can be served two ways.  Which do you prefer? Ice box or freezer style?

I loved both ways, go figure!  I love the strawberry mixture in the center. The fruit gives it a sweet and tart flavor and the graham cracker crust with the yogurt concoction is just incredibly delicious. I just added some strawberries and blueberries to the top and look how freaking pretty it is!

I used Yoplait 100 Greek yogurt in this dessert.   The difference between Greek yogurt from traditional yogurt is that Greek yogurt has been strained to remove the whey, which gives Greek yogurt that creamier, thicker texture and rich flavor. So a lot less sugar,  sodium and more than twice the amount of protein than traditional yogurt.

It is loaded with nutrients and provides numerous health benefits. I love using Greek Yogurt as much as I can!

Star Spangled Yogurt Pie {Ice Box or Freezer}

Here’s what I did with the ‘Star Spangled’ Yogurt Pie’.  I served it ice box (from the fridge) style first. Afterwards, I put it in the freezer, completely sealed.  I took it out of the freezer a couple of hours later and had a sliver of this heaven and it was so good, so both ways, amazing delicious!

If you want to add other flavors to your ‘Star Spangled’ Yogurt Pie’, you can always add in any kind of mix-ins or any toppings you want.  You can also infuse the yogurt with your mix-ins, instead of putting it in between the 2 layers of yogurt/whipped cream like I did.  You could even make a granola crust or incorporate the graham crackers with some nuts if you wanted too. There are so many options, so don’t be afraid to experiment.  I want to make a chocolate one now, so you may see that in the near future, since summer is upon us! Heck why not?

Here’s the recipe!  I hope you enjoy! What add-ins would you pick? 🙂

Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham crackers crushed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter

Yogurt Pie Filling

  • 2 cups strawberries Optional: 1/4 cup sugar or stevia, quartered +
  • 1 1/2 cups Greek Yogurt I used Vanilla 100 Calorie Greek Yogurt, Strawberry or Vanilla
  • 3 cups whipped cream

Toppings

  • 4-5 strawberries sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • Optional: Whipped cream Chocolate, Caramel or Nutella sauce.

Instructions
 

Graham Cracker Crust

  • In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and sugar; add butter and blend well. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9” pie pan or spring-form pan.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes before filling, or bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack before filling.

Greek Yogurt Pie Filling Steps

  • Hull strawberries and cut up in quarters. (Optional: add sugar and mix together).. Pulse 2 -3 times in blender (pulse with smaller portions) or food process to get smaller strawberry bits, set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add Greek yogurt and whisk until creamy. Add in whipped cream and mix until incorporated well.(mixture will be thick)
  • Spoon almost half of the yogurt mixture onto the pie crust and level it out.
  • Add the strawberry mixture on top of the yogurt mixture layer, level out, then again layer with the rest of the yogurt mixture and level it out.
  • (Option: If you don’t want to layer, you can just add the strawberries to the yogurt mixture, mix until incorporated and add it the pie crust) and level it out.

Topping

  • Add sliced strawberries and blueberries to the top of the dessert and refrigerate (covered) for 3-4 hours or overnight or place pie in freezer, completely sealed until you are ready to serve.
  • Let it sit at room-temp for 15-30 minutes for easier cutting. Dip knife in hot water, so knife is warm for easier cutting of dessert, if desired.
  • Enjoy either refrigerated or frozen! Both are delicious!

    This pie almost looks too good to eat! Will have to try this with soy yogurt and a gluten free crust.
