Ingredients
Reduced Fat Graham Cracker Crust
1 (9 ounce) (Store-bought or homemade, ready to fill.)
Low-Fat Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
4 cups (Softened to a milkshake consistency.)
Undiluted Frozen Lemonade Concentrate
1/2 cup (Thawed completely.)
Water
3/4 cup (Used in sauce preparation.)
Sugar or Splenda Sugar Substitute
1/4 cup (For sweetness in the sauce.)
Cornstarch
2 1/4 teaspoons (To thicken the sauce.)
Blueberries
1 1/2 cups (Fresh or thawed if frozen.)
Instructions
1
Start by letting the low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt sit at room temperature until it softens to a milkshake consistency, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
2
In a mixing bowl, gently fold the thawed lemonade concentrate into the softened yogurt until well combined, ensuring a smooth consistency.
3
Spoon the yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
4
Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for 6 hours or until completely firm.
5
Thirty minutes prior to serving, transfer the pie from the freezer to the refrigerator to allow it to soften slightly for easier slicing.
6
While the pie is softening, prepare the blueberry sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar (or Splenda), and cornstarch. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
7
Once it reaches a boil, continue cooking for an additional minute or until it thickens, still stirring with the whisk for a smooth texture.
8
Add the blueberries to the saucepan and let them cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until bubbly and the blueberries start to burst and release their juices.
9
Remove the sauce from heat and cool slightly before serving.
10
Slice the pie into wedges and serve each slice drizzled with the warm blueberry sauce, garnished with fresh blueberries if desired.
