Instructions
Prepare the Crust
- 1Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl until well mixed.
- 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
- 1In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sweetener, and lemon juice over medium heat.
- 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
- 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.
- 2Gently fold in about half of the cooled raspberry coulis, creating swirls. Reserve the remaining coulis for drizzling.
- 3Pour half of the yogurt mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust. Drizzle with half of the melted dark chocolate.
- 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
- 1Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- 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.
