Yoplait® Frozen Yogurt Strawberry Lemonade Pie
Our kids summer’s may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean that this heat is letting up. It’s hot, humid and all I want to do is eat ice cream, and lots of it. So instead of running to the corner store for another pint of fatty Ben and Jerry’s, I made a cool and refreshing lemonade pie with Yoplait® frozen yogurt.
For this healthier ice cream pie, I started by making a crust with stale waffle cones crushed in my food processor with a little melted butter, the same way you would make a graham cracker crust. Then I pressed the shell into a spring form pan. Next I mixed two containers of softened Yoplait® frozen strawberry yogurt with a tub of whipped topping and some strawberry lemonade mix.
After I add the filling to the pan, I place the pie in the freezer to set up. Before serving, I make a quick and easy strawberry sauce from fresh strawberries in my food processor to pour on top of the pie before serving.
For the photos, I added all the sauce to the pie, but only add the sauce to the pie you serve. Freezing this sauce makes it turn to a hard strawberry ice.

Tips:
For a strawberry pie, you can omit the lemonade mix and water in this recipe.
More sugar can be used in the strawberry sauce if it’s not sweet enough for your tastes.
