I'm no culinary diva, especially in the summer.
I'm happy with grilled meat and corn on the cob every night.
Simple is my favorite adjective for hot-weather food.
And that's the best description for this summer pie. Grandma might've
called it "icebox pie," since it sets up in the freezer. Typical icebox pies are
high-calorie and loaded with fat, things I'm not absolutely opposed to,
but if I can easily dodge those, I (probably) will.
This casual concoction features Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese
or sweetened condensed milk. Topped with whatever fruit you find
in your garden or at the farmer's market, it's a win for sure.
The variations are nearly endless and simply delicious.
Simple Summertime Icebox Pie
1. Make(or buy)a graham cracker or cookie crust.
2. Gently combine and spoon into crust:
one large container of vanilla Greek yogurt
one regular-sized container of whipped topping
3. Prepare fruit and layer on top of yogurt cream filling.
4. Chill in your freezer for about two hours. Allow to thaw for a few minutes before serving.
The opportunities for upgrades are endless here ... think chips, drizzles, and mix-ins.
