Strawberry Yogurt Pie I

I just made this for a pie in the park with a bunch of other girls. They loved it! Had made two 6oz since my 9oz broke. Turned out really well, that I'm making another for Thanksgiving. I also added grated chocolate into the mix and on top.

I have made many a big tray of these in the restaurant I worked at for catering. Sometimes I used Oreo cookie crust and sometimes I used graham cracker crust. I prefer the Oreo cookie crust. I also used strawberry gelatin powder in the filling. This helped it firm up and also gave it a better flavor and color. I never froze it but did leave it overnight in the fridge to set. I saw several comments on here that said they were having trouble with it setting up and trouble taking it in and out of the freezer to thaw. I see no reason for that. This was a good start to a recipe though.

While definitely easy and for beginners, this pie was just ok for us. I used Yoplait strawberry yogurt. I also made 2 pies. One with a graham cracker crust and one with an Oreo crust. Both were good but the graham cracker crust was better. Next time I’ll use less yogurt because it really overpowered the strawberry taste.

We liked this. It's very refreshing so perfect for a hot summer day. I found it to be very hard to cut, even after sitting on counter a half hour to thaw. I bet this would be great with other flavors such as peaches with peach yogurt, or blueberries with blueberry yogurt. It 's not overly sweet despite the whipped topping, which for us is a plus.

This was very quick and easy to make! Due to dietary restrictions in my family, I made my own (gluten-free) graham cracker crust, and used non-dairy coconut-based whipped topping. Knowing when to cut into it, both for ease of cutting and eating, was a little tricky. Mine was in the freezer overnight and I let it thaw for about 1 hour before serving, and could have gone longer.

This fun frozen Strawberry Yogurt Pie is a dessert I'll be making my family all summer long! The icy texture was super refreshing and creamy at the same time. The fresh fruit really gave it a flavor I know my kids will love.
