Instructions

Prepare the Crust

  1. 1Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl until well mixed.
  2. 2Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.

Make the Raspberry Coulis

  1. 1In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sweetener, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  2. 2Simmer for 5-7 minutes, mashing the raspberries with a fork, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired, pressing on the solids. Let cool completely.

Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Filling

  1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the well-drained Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  2. 2Gently fold in about half of the cooled raspberry coulis, creating swirls. Reserve the remaining coulis for drizzling.
  3. 3Pour half of the yogurt mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust. Drizzle with half of the melted dark chocolate.
  4. 4Carefully spoon the remaining yogurt mixture over the chocolate layer, then drizzle with the remaining dark chocolate and a few more swirls of the reserved raspberry coulis.

Freeze and Serve

  1. 1Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  2. 2Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Cut into wedges and serve, perhaps with additional fresh raspberries.
