Berry Yogurt Pie
MAKES ONE 9-INCH PIE
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) crushed graham wafers
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons (90 ml) melted butter or margarine
For the yogurt filling
- 1 cup (240 ml) thick greek yogurt,
- 1 cup (240 ml) cream cheese,
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
For the topping
- raspberries and blueberries, or any fruit you love, rinsed and patted dry
- Mild honey
Method
- To make the crust, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pulse all the crust ingredients in a food processor.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate and press it evenly onto the bottom and all the way up the sides.
- Bake for 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden and fragrant. Transfer the pie plate to a wire rack to cool completely while you make the filling.
- To make the yogurt filling, if you are not using Greek yogurt, place the yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a medium bowl. Let it drain for at least 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Discard the liquid.
- With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat the cream cheese until very smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Reduce the speed to low, add the yogurt, and beat until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust, cover loosely, and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or up to 1 day.
- Just before serving, scatter the berries over the yogurt filling. Drizzle with the honey, or pass the honey on the side for guests to drizzle.
