Tropical Cream Pie image

This is a wonderful dessert for those watching their calories, carbs and fat grams. This is made with yogurt cheese in place of cream cheese. The prep time reflects a 24 hour period to drain the yogurt. This recipe is from Not Just Cheesecake!

Time P1DT12h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) carton nonfat yogurt, no gelatin added
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, packed in own juice
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1 medium banana, diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons flaked coconut, toasted
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crusts (I use Graham-Cracker Crust (Microwave).)

Steps:

  • The day before, place in yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a yogurt strainer and place in the refrigerator; allowing to drain for 24 hours.
  • Making sure to reserve the liquid, drain the pineapple in a stainer, pressing against sides to remove liquid.
  • Soften the gelatin in 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice for 5 minutes; heat 1/2 cup of the remaining juice; add softened gelatin and stir to dissolve, cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the banana with lemon juice and toss to coat; place the coconut in a dry skillet and over medium heat toast lightly.
  • Place the yogurt cheese in a medium-sized bowl, gently stir in sugar with a fork or wire whisk; gradually add the gelatin mixture and continue stirring until well blended.
  • Fold in the drained pineapple, bananas and toasted coconut.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust, chill several hours or until set.
