Raspberry Lime Yogurt Pie

The Raspberry Lime Yogurt Pie is a wonderful frozen dessert. 

Compared to traditional pie which takes time and effort, this recipe only requires some time for freezing (and thawing). Whereas the rest of the tasks are pretty straightforward.

What’s more is that it doesn’t have that much sugar, but it’s still sweet thanks to the natural sugar found in raspberries.

On top of all that, it has a flavor of sweet and sour that’s perfectly balanced. You’ll probably want more than a slice.

With that said, let’s bake! (or make, because we won’t use an oven for this recipe.)

Tips and Substitutions

Before anything else, thaw your Fat Free Cool Whip. This takes about 3½ hours to defrost, so it’s ideal to plan ahead. You also can’t skip this part, otherwise it’ll be cumbersome to fold it into the Raspberry Lime Yogurt Pie mixture.

Here’s the deal:

To make this recipe, it’s ideal to use an 1½ – 2 inches deep pie plate (and about 9 inches in diameter). If you’re going to use a shallower pie plate, you may have to divide the ingredients into 2. Here are the list of components divided:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 6 oz raspberries
  • ¾ cup of vanilla flavored greek yogurt (it’s technically 0.6625, but that’s too complicated to measure in cooking).
  • ½ container of low fat or fat free cool whip, thawed
  • juice and zest of ½ lime (you can use the whole thing if you want the tangy flavor to be more robust).

Or, you can also use two shallow plates. That’s what I did, so I was able to make two pies.

Additionally, you can separate at least 8 raspberries for garnish.

Here’s more:

If you don’t want it as a frozen pie, you can add a package of unflavored gelatin to the Raspberry Lime Yogurt Pie (during step 3). Then, place it in the fridge instead of the freezer for a minimum of 8 hours.

You don’t have to thaw your raspberries when you have a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix Blender or perhaps a Blendtec Blender. These blenders are powerful enough to crush frozen ingredients, so there’ll be more minor tasks for thawing other than the Cool Whip.
