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!
