I love baked desserts, but as the summer temperatures heat up I don’t always like turning on the oven. That’s where this simple Lemon Strawberry Pie comes in.
A simple no-bake dessert that just requires you to boil some water for preparing the lemon Jello—no oven or pre-heating required. Then just mix the gelatin with some low-fat vanilla yogurt and a little mint extract, pour into a low-fat graham cracker crust and chill.
Once the pie is set, you top it with some fresh cut strawberries and little more lemon Jello. It can then chill until serving time.
Easy, peasy to make, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the resulting creamy, lemony, lighter than air texture—we certainly were!
How Many Calories and WW Points in this No-Bake Lemon Strawberry Pie?
According to my calculations, each serving has about 172 calories.
To keep the calories, sugar, and Weight Watchers points low in this easy no-bake dessert you’ll want to use sugar-free jello and yogurt. I opted for Oikos Triple Zero vanilla Greek yogurt which is sweetened with stevia.
