Frosty Peppermint Pie

Chill out over the holidays with this super-easy and healthy frozen yogurt pie.

By: Jodie Shield, RDN

When the weather outside is frightful, baking sugar cookies and licking the batter is delightful. But when this holiday baker is short on time and needs an impressive, crowd-pleasing dessert, I make Frosty Peppermint Pie. This frozen dessert takes only minutes to make, plus it’s healthy. Peppermint naturally provides a calming effect to help you de-stress. Plus, vanilla frozen yogurt is one of the star ingredients in my recipe, along with a homemade chocolate cookie crumb crust. No food processor, no problem. Simply drop the cookies into a plastic, zipper lock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Just be sure to refrigerate the crust for at least an hour before adding the filling. This will help prevent crumbling when you serve the pie.
