Best Store-bought Pie Crust

The best pie crust for this frozen yogurt pie is a store-bought pre-made chocolate crust or pre-made graham cracker crust. These are often used for pies that don't require baking because they provide a sweet, crumbly, and slightly crunchy base that complements a variety of no-bake pie fillings. 

Ingredients

• Frozen Whipped Topping: Also known as whipped cream or whipped topping, this ingredient adds a light and airy texture to the pie, making it creamy and indulgent. Regular, reduced-fat, or no-sugar varieties of Cool Whip, Tru Whip, or So Delicious Coco Whip can all be used.
• Yogurt: Provides the base for the pie filling and adds tanginess and richness. Choose your favorite yogurt flavor, such as vanilla, strawberry, or lemon, to complement the other ingredients. Regular yogurt, low-fat yogurt or Greek yogurt varieties can all be used.
• Chopped Fruit: Adds sweetness, flavor, and texture to the pie. Fresh or frozen fruit works well, so feel free to use whatever is in season or readily available. Popular options include fresh strawberries, peaches, mangoes, or bananas.
• Graham Cracker Crust: Serves as the base of the pie and provides a crunchy contrast to the creamy filling. You can use store-bought graham cracker crust for convenience or make your own from scratch.

Tools You'll Need

• Spatula
• Measuring Cups and Spoons

How to make Frozen Yogurt Pie

1. In a large bowl, fold together whipped topping and yogurt. 

2. Once blended, fold in fruit. 

3. Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Spread to the edges and pillow the filling with the back of a spoon. 

4. Cover and freeze 3 hours or until firm. 
5. Remove from the freezer at least 45-60 minutes before serving to slightly soften. Garnish if desired.

Pro Tips and Substitutions

• Thawing Cool Whip: Cool Whip is sold frozen and will need to be defrosted before making the pie.
  • The two methods of thawing I recommend are in the refrigerator or in cold water. Thawing in the refrigerator will take about 5 hours. For the second way, place the Cool Whip tub in a bowl filled with cold water and let it sit for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Cool Whip Substitute: Fresh whipped cream can be used instead of Cool Whip.
  • To make homemade whipped cream, in a large bowl on high speed, blend together 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream or heavy cream, ¼ cup powered sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
• Experiment with Flavors: Don't be afraid to get creative with flavors! Mix and match different combinations of yogurt and fruit to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • For example, try pairing lemon yogurt with blueberries for a refreshing twist, or chocolate yogurt with raspberries for a decadent treat.
• Add Texture: Enhance the texture of the pie by adding additional mix-ins such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut to the filling. These add-ins not only add crunch but also extra flavor and indulgence.
• Make It Vegan: To make a vegan version of Frozen Yogurt Pie, use dairy-free whipped topping and yogurt alternatives made from coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Ensure that the graham cracker crust is also vegan-friendly by checking the ingredients list for any animal-derived products.
• Fancy Fruit Garnish Option: After the pie has froze for an hour, you can remove it, arrange fresh fruit to the top, recover and place back in the freezer.

Frozen Yogurt Pie Flavor Options

When making a Yogurt Pie with a base of Cool Whip and creamy yogurt, the flavor options are virtually endless! Here are some delicious flavor combinations:

• Classic Fruit Medley: Mix with a variety of fresh or frozen fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and kiwi. Top with additional fruit slices for a colorful and refreshing dessert. Strawberry frozen yogurt pie and blueberry yogurt pie are two of my personal favorites.
• Tropical Delight: Combine Cool Whip with coconut or pineapple yogurt and add chopped mangoes, pineapple chunks, and shredded coconut to the filling. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes for extra tropical flavor.
• Chocolate Lovers' Dream: Mix Cool Whip with chocolate or mocha yogurt and fold in chocolate chips or chunks. For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top before freezing.
• Berry Blast: Blend Cool Whip with mixed berry yogurt and fold in a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Swirl in some raspberry or strawberry jam for added sweetness and flavor.
• Citrus Sunshine: Combine Cool Whip with lemon or orange yogurt and add zest from fresh lemons or oranges to the filling. Fold in chopped citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, or limes for a bright and tangy flavor.
• Peanut Butter Paradise: Mix Cool Whip with peanut butter or chocolate peanut butter yogurt and fold in chopped peanut butter cups or chocolate-covered peanuts. Drizzle with peanut butter sauce before freezing for an extra peanuty kick.
• Cookies and Cream: Blend Cool Whip with vanilla or cookies and cream yogurt and fold in crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. Swirl in some chocolate sauce or fudge ripple for a decadent twist on a classic flavor.
• Coffeehouse Affogato: Combine Cool Whip with coffee or espresso yogurt and fold in crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans or toffee bits. Top with a drizzle of caramel sauce before freezing for a caffeinated treat.
• Minty Fresh: Mix Cool Whip with mint or mint chocolate chip yogurt and fold in chopped Andes mints or chocolate chips. Add a few drops of green food coloring for a vibrant mint color.
• Raspberry Lemonade: Blend Cool Whip with raspberry or lemon yogurt and fold in fresh raspberries and lemon zest. Swirl in some raspberry or lemon curd for an extra burst of flavor.
• Cheesecake: Whip 4-8 ounces cream cheese before blending with the yogurt for a cheesecake-like flavor profile for any of the above flavor combinations.

Homemade Pie Crust Alternatives

You can experiment with different crusts such as chocolate cookie crust, Oreo crust, or shortbread crust to add your own twist to the recipe. Here are some homemade pie crusts options:

• For a graham cracker crust, simply mix together 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (processed in a food processor) and 6 tablespoons melted butter in a medium bowl. Press evenly on the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until gold brown, then cool completely.
• For a pecan pie crust, simply mix together 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 1 cup finely chopped pecans and 12 tablespoons melted butter in a medium bowl. Press evenly on the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan. Bake at 350°F for 14-18 minutes or until golden brown, then cool completely.
• For a gluten-free crust, follow the homemade pie crust options as noted above using gluten-free graham crackers or chocolate cookies or a gluten-free all-purpose flour alternative.

Storage and Freezing

Store leftover Frozen Yogurt Pie in the freezer, tightly covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, for up to 1-2 weeks. To prevent freezer burn, wrap the pie tightly and place it in an airtight container or freezer bag.

When ready to serve again, let the pie sit at room temperature for at least 30-60 minutes to soften slightly before slicing. This will make it easier to cut and serve.
