Yogurt Pecan Pie

Pecans and mango-flavored yogurt give this simple dessert a tropical flavor. To enhance the effect, you can stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of sweetened coconut flakes into the whipped topping mixture before spreading it over the pie crust.

Make Your Own Graham Cracker Crust

Pie crusts made with graham crackers are perfect for frozen desserts such as this one. If pre-made graham cracker pie crusts aren't available at your local supermarket, it's easy to make your own. Melt ½ stick of unsalted butter and stir in 1½ cups crushed honey graham wafers. Press into a 9″ × 9″ pie pan. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
