An ice-cold, no-bake sweet treat? Count me in! On these hot days, not only do I need dinners that aren't cooked in an oven, but at the end of the day something cold and refreshing really hits the spot!
Recipe: (from hungrygirl via Pinterest)
1/2 fat free plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 sheets graham crackers, broken into 4 squares (The recipe called for low-fat cinnamon graham crackers, which I am sure are delicious; however, the name of the game these days is 'use up what's left in the cupboard, so I have less to move,' so plain old regular grahams worked just fine!)
To make the filling, combine yogurt, sugar, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Cover and place in the freezer for 25-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft serve-like consistency, very thick but soft enough to stir.
Place 2 graham cracker squares on a plate (cinnamon side down, if using). Give filling stir and evenly distribute between the 2 graham cracker squares, about 1/4 cup each. Gently place another graham cracker square over each filling topped square.
Place in freezer until firm, at least 1 hour (I wrapped mine as well).
Verdict:
Nice and simple. Cool and refreshing. The right combination of tart and sweet, just like a slice of key lime pie. And, for an ice cream treat, quite low in calories and fat and such. Plus, I actually made three sandwiches out of the filling recipe above.
