Well, now that I’m thinking about it, that title might not be completely correct. I think the EASIEST way to “make” pie is to go to the grocery store, pick up a pre-made one off the shelf, put it in your cart, and buy it. So, maybe this is how to make the SECOND easiest pie in the world. This recipe is the epitome of why I started this blog. It’s one of those recipes that are so good, everyone loves it, I get a ton of compliments every time I make it (kids especially love it!)…but it is so easy to make that it’s almost embarrassing. But those are the type of recipes that I think busy people like you and me need!

As you all know, I’m not a big chocolate fan. I’m also not really a big sweets fan in general (I’m sure many of you are sad for me right now). Usually, I’d rather just take a few more bites of my steak than save room for dessert! But there are a few desserts, that I promise I’ll post, that I’ll actually put my steak knife down for…this pie is one of them. My sister-in-law makes a couple of these pies every Thanksgiving, and instead of helping myself to an extra dollop of mashed potatoes (mmm) like I would do every year before she joined our family, I actually started saving room for a piece or two of her pie! This recipe is like so many of my other favorite recipes where I argued with her for a while when she gave me the recipe, insisting that she was leaving something out, because it’s just too easy! So, here is how to make the easiest pie in the world:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 container* plain or vanilla yogurt, 1 package jello (any flavor*), & 1 container cool whip.
2. Pour into a store-bought graham cracker crust.

Yes, that’s it. You’re done. Go watch TV. Or spend the time that you would have spent baking and go do something productive, like take a nap. I know this might sound a bit TOO EASY, but that’s the point, that’s why it’s the easiest pie in the world! But I promise, it is SO good, and really different, and you’re gonna love it!

Oh, and if you want to be REALLY crazy, sometimes I take a fruit of the flavor the jello is (a strawberry for strawberry jello, a lime for lime jello) and slice it and put it in the middle (people always say that we eat with our eyes first, so it’s good to let them know what to expect)…but that’s just if you want to be really crazy.

Recommendations:

• Yogurt: Size: Just the personal size container (one serving) I can’t remember how many ounces the container is.
• Jello: My 2 favorite flavors for this pie are lime and strawberry…so good!
