Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Yogurt Pie

1. Prepare the Crust

Making a Crust That Holds Together

• Step 1: You should also grease an oven at 350°F (175°C) before you bake.
• Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl combine the crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits, sugar and butter melted in the microwave or on the stove.
• Step 3: Pat this mixture down into the bottom and a little up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate firmly with the back of a spoon or your fingers making a nice crisp layer for the bottom of the crust.
• Step 4: Bake the crust at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes or till the crust turns slightly golden. This should be cooled to room temperature before putting the filling in.

2. Make the Creamy Yogurt Filling

 Whipping Up the Yogurt Mixture

• Step 1: These are in a large bowl, add the Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
• Step 2: Gradually, pour in the lemon juice while continuously whisking them to keep them well mixed.
• Step 3: If you want a firmer filling, include the corn starch and beat until properly incorporated. This step is not essential because the yogurt should thicken well with the help of condensed milk.

3. Pour and Chill

• Step 1: When it is done pour the yogurt filling over the cooled crust as you spread it with a spatula.
• Step 2: Whenever possible, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably for the night, with the plastic wrap on top of the pie.

4. Add the Final Touches

• Step 1: When ready to serve you can garnish it with toppings of your choice. To energize, fresh berries brighten up the dish as the addition of honey or whipped cream and chocolate chips augment the taste of sugar.
• Step 2: Yogurt pie must be served chilled; therefore, it offers consumers sweet yogurt pie with a creamy finish.

Tips for the Best Yogurt Pie

1. Use Full-Fat Greek Yogurt

The full fat has a more desirable texture, which sustains the character of a pie better. When trying to make a lower-fat version you should know that the filling may be slightly softer.

2. Customize the Sweetness

If you want your crisscross biscuits to be less sweet, then don’t use as much of the sweetened condensed milk. If you have a tradition of eating more sweets increase it even further!

3. Chill for the Right Amount of Time

Allowing the pie to cool for at least 4 hours or even better overnight is important to set the filling. For those who do not have much time, put it into a freezer for 1- 2 hours but make sure you do not freeze the filling.

Original Ingredient	Substitute Option	Notes
Full-fat Greek Yogurt	Coconut yogurt (non-dairy)	For a vegan or dairy-free option
Sweetened Condensed Milk	Honey or maple syrup + cream	Adjust sweetness as needed; texture may vary
Graham Cracker Crust	Digestive biscuit crust	Similar flavor and texture
Lemon Juice	Lime juice or apple cider vinegar	Adds a slightly different tanginess
Cornstarch	Gelatin (1 tsp)	Use if you want extra firmness in the filling

Serving and Storing Your Yogurt Pie

For the pie to be tasted at its best, place it in the fridge and then serve cold. You can also bring each slice together with a spoon of whipped cream or scoop of ice cream if you want to make it moreा:

In case of leftovers, you should refrigerate them and wrap the food with plastic foil or put them in a tight-lid container. For serving in a day or two, wrap individual slices in plastic and store them in the refrigerator, for up to one month, freeze slices under plastic wrap. All you have to do is to thaw a slice in the refrigerator for several hours and then serve immediately.
