Elle's Kitchen: A Lovely Lemon Pie

A Cool Treat for a Hot Day

Here in the American Midwest we

are having a heat wave.  We are not

alone, much of the country is sweltering.

  What is the weather like where you live?

Lovely Lemon Pie

Twelve 2 1/2" graham cracker squares

4 teas. cold butter

1 envelope lemon flavored jello

1/2 cup boiling water

1 envelope instant vanilla pudding mix

2 cups lemon nonfat yogurt

1 cup skim milk

1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

lemon slices & mint

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9" pie plate with cooking

spray.  In a food processor, process the

crackers until fine crumbs.  Add the

butter and process until evenly blended.

Press the crumb mixture evenly in the

bottom and part way up the sides of

the pie pan.  Bake until browned, 6 to 8

minutes.  Cool on a rack.

In a small bowl combine jello and

water; stir until completely dissolved,

about 2 minutes.  Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer

at medium speed, beat the pudding mix,

1 cup of the lemon yogurt, the milk and

the plain yogurt.   Add the gelatin mixture

and stir until thoroughly combined.

Pour into the cooled crust; refrigerate

covered, until firm, at least 8 hours.

Serve topped with remaining lemon yogurt

and garnish with lemon slices & mint.
