Sunday's Food Tip: Dessert Can Be "Easy As Pie"

The phrase "easy as pie" must have been coined after someone made a super simple frozen yogurt pie like this one for dessert. Put together the ingredients for this rich and creamy pie in a matter of minutes, then pop the pie into the freezer to let it set for a few hours before serving.

Use your favorite flavor of low fat yogurt for this recipe. Raspberry and Key Lime yogurt are both crowd pleasers.

FROZEN YOGURT PIE

2 (6 oz. each) containers flavored low fat yogurt

1 (8 oz.) tub whipped topping (COOL WHIP), thawed

1 (6 oz.) graham cracker pie crust (readymade or make your own according to directions on a package of graham cracker crumbs)


Combine yogurt and whipped topping in a medium bowl; stir gently until well blended. Spoon into prepared crust.

Freeze pie 4 hours or overnight until firm.

Note: Remove pie from freezer 15 minutes before serving; let stand at room temperature until pie can be cut easily (the pie is much more flavorful when it has thawed just a bit). Store leftover pie in freezer.

See? Dessert can be as "easy as pie," yet incredibly delicious!
