No-Bake Berry Greek Yogurt Pie

A delicious welcome to Spring with this No-Bake Berry Greek Yogurt Pie. Fast and Easy and made with your favorite flavor of Greek or Regular Yogurt. The Perfect Summertime Dessert.

Greek yogurt pie on a white cake stand.

I decided to make this amazing No-Bake Berry Greek Yogurt Pie. My daughters and I first discovered Yogurt Pie when we were grocery shopping one day. Boxed cake and pie mixes were not very big in Italy at that time.

When we saw the Spring/Summer boxed Yogurt Pie we decided that we needed to try it. It was pretty darn good for a box. So when Spring would roll around and out would come The Desserts we would always grab a box of our favourite cake.

The other day when I was in the Super Market I noticed our favourite YogurtΒ Dessert was on the shelf. I also sawΒ that I was not the only one gawking at the desserts.

Almost as if she was reading my mind a woman beside me commented “you always know when Spring has arrived”  a third woman responded “if you want to eat an even better Yogurt Pie, I’ve got the recipe for you”.

Music to my ears. I don’t think the other woman was much interested, but I already had my pen and paper out of my purse.

I let her know that I was more than interested in her recipe. And this my friends is how my No Bake Berry Greek Yogurt Pie became one of the Italians favourite desserts.

  • Recipe Ingredients
  • How to make No Bake Yogurt Pie
Greek yogurt pie on a white cake stand and a slice on a white plate.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Graham crack crumbs – or crushed cookies, I especially like digestive cookies crushed
  • Butter – salted butter
  • Milk – whole or 2% milk
  • Gelatine – powder or leaves
  • Cream – whole, heavy or whipped cream, it should have at least 30% fat
  • Greek Yogurt – or plain yogurt, flavoured or plain, see recipe instructions for more information
  • Powdered sugar – powdered sugar will combine better with yogurt, depending on how sweet your yogurt is you may want to increase or decrease the sugar.
  • Berries – Fresh summer berries are the best, although frozen will work too

How to make a Berry sauce

There is no extra sugar in this recipe, if you find it not sweet enough then you can always serve it with a berry sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of berries of choice (fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries etc)
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • pinch cinnamon if desired
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

In a medium pot mix together the berries, sugar, cornstarch, water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until desired thickness. Pour into a clean bowl, let cool for about an hour then refrigerate 1-2 hours before using. It will thicken as it cools.

How to make No Bake Yogurt Pie

Mix the graham cracker / cookie crumbs and melted butter, press down on the bottom of a springform cake pan or line a regular cake pan with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator while you make the filling.

Crumbs on the bottom of the pan.

In a medium bowl beat cream until thick peaks form, gently fold in the yogurt, combine well.

Whipped cream beaten to stiff peaks.

In a small pot add the milk, sprinkle the gelatine on top, let stand one minute, then place the pot on low heat and heat just until the gelatine has dissolved, stirring for approximately 1 minute, do not boil, then immediately remove from heat.

    In a medium bowl stir together the greek yogurt and powdered sugar, then stir in the gelatine. Fold the yogurt/gelatine mixture into the whipped cream mixture and combine well.

    Gelatine mixed into the yogurt in a white bowl.

    Remove the cookie base from the fridge, pour the cream mixture on top, smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or better overnight. Top with fresh fruit or a berry sauce before serving. 

    Yogurt and whipped cream mixed and in the cake pan.

    The difference between regular yogurt and Greek yogurt

    The difference is that Greek yogurt has been strained to remove its whey, this makes it a thicker consistency than that of regular yogurt which is not strained, although they both have the same distinctive sour taste.

    Can you substitute with regular yogurt?

    Yes you can also substitute with regular yogurt, if you do then use 2 tablespoons of milk and 2 tablespoons of cream. Because regular yogurt is thinner, the extra cream is needed and less milk.

    How to store it

    The Yogurt pie should be stored covered in the fridge, it will last for up to 3-4 days in the fridge.

    Just like my Easy Yogurt Cake. Pick your favourite Yogurt flavor and the rest is easy. The perfect dessert to end a Family Sunday Supper. Enjoy!

        Notes

        To make with gelatine sheets – Fill a medium bowl with water add the gelatin and soak until it softens (10-15 minutes). In a small pot add the milk heat the milk but do not boil, remove gelatin from the water, wring out well and add to the milk, stir until completely melted. Set aside.

            I was wondering what type/brand gelatine sheets you use?

              Hi Sandra, I used my local store brand (it’s actually a French grocery store chain Carrefour). But i’m sure any gelatin sheets would work, I actually added a link about gelatine maybe you could check that out. Hope it helps.

            I have never used gelatin sheets–actually never heard of them until I read your recipe. Could I substitute them for the packaged envelope dried gelatin and how much would I use?

              Hi Sherry, ok I discovered this, that 1 envelope of gelatin is equal to 2 1/4 – 2 1/2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin, which is equal to 3 1/2 sheets so therefore you would use about 1 teaspoon. Hope that helps. Happy Sunday.
