Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 2 cups yogurt
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Remove the pre-made graham cracker crust from its packaging and place it on a clean, flat surface.
- Wash and prepare the fresh fruits by thoroughly rinsing the strawberries and bananas under cool water.
- Slice the ripe bananas into thin, uniform rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin, even pieces similar in size to the banana slices.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and honey, stirring gently until well incorporated and smooth.
- Spread a thin, even layer of the yogurt-honey mixture across the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
- Arrange the banana slices in a single, overlapping layer across the yogurt base.
- Distribute the sliced strawberries evenly over the banana layer.
- Carefully pour the remaining yogurt mixture over the fruit, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts uniformly across the top of the pie.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and pie to set.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled.
Tips
- Choose ripe, high-quality fruits for the best flavor. Bananas should be soft but not mushy, and strawberries should be bright red and fragrant.
- For extra smoothness, use Greek yogurt, which provides a richer, creamier texture.
- To prevent the pie from becoming watery, pat your fruit slices dry with a paper towel before arranging them.
- For a more decorative touch, reserve a few whole strawberry slices and walnut pieces to garnish the top of the pie.
- Chilling is crucial—allow at least 2 hours of refrigeration to let the flavors meld and the pie set properly.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
- Experiment with honey varieties like wildflower or lavender honey to add unique flavor dimensions.
