creamsicle pie question

Ok all you fabulous folks who make the creamsicle pies...  When you say " a container of greek yogurt" (in a 1-pie recipe), what size container are you talking about?  I always buy it in the big containers (the same size as the cool whip container). 

I accidentally omitted the greek yogurt from teh recipe over the weekend and the texture was a lot more like a creamy jello, which I dind't like nearly as much.  But the flavor was awesome... used cherry activia light yogurt, unflavored gelatin, and 2 tsp black cherry concentrate and 1 tsp chocolate extract. 

Thanks,
Karen

I use the "single serve" size of the greek yogurt. I think that it is 7 ounces.

Enjoy!

Thanks!  That's what I suspected, but wanted to make sure.

Ok. I need this recipe!!!

Bonnie,

It's incredibly easy...  I jump through an extra hoop because I can't find sugar-free jello that isn't sweetened with Aspartame (allergy), so I make mine with unflavored gelatin and either powdered drink mix or just extract flavorings...

1/2 C. boiling water
1 pkg (1 tbsp) unflavored gelatin
1 8 oz container cool whip light (slightly softened)
1 7 oz container greek yogurt (plain)
1 single-serving container regular sugar-free yogurt in your choice of flavors
1 pie crust (see below)

Flavor combinations.... just use your imagination:
choc./cherry - 2 tbsp black cherry concentrate (unsweetened) plus 1 tsp choc extract, cherry yogurt
acai energy - 1 packet acai energy drink mix, peach yogurt (my favorite so far!)
peachy keen - 1 packet tea2go red tea with peach, peach yogurt
lemon - lemonade and lemon yogurt

Combine the water and gelatin in a small bowl or cup, mixing thoroughly.  Allow to cool slightly.

Whip together the cool whip, greek yogurt, regular yogurt, and flavorings until thoroughly blended.  Add in gelatin and stir until blended.
Pour into pie crust.  Cover lightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate 4 hours until set.

PIE CRUST
about 1 package (about 7 - 8 oz) sugar free cookies (I've used Voortman's SF cookies and Murray's sandwich cookies and both were awesome)
1 tbsp I can't believe it's not butter, melted.

Crumble cookies thoroughly and stir with melted margarine until mixed.  Press into pie pan, and bake at 400F for 7 minutes.  Remove and allow to cool before pouring filling.

OR... you can go the easy route and just use a purchased graham cracker crust ;-)

Thanks for the recipe

Thanks. Sounds like an idea for Thanksgiving!

It's definately yummy yummy!

I prefer the lime jello w/ lime yogurt...ESPECIALLY in the summer...but just about any flavor is awesome!

I think this was Liz's recipe and I made it for the first time about two weeks ago.  I used the orange yogurt & orange sf jello.  It was Sooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy!

Two non-wls ladies asked for the recipe and were excited that it was "good for you" and practically sugar-free (aside from the store bought crust).  I was actually excited when the host sent all the left-overs home!  I had pie for 3 days! 

Highly recommended!
