This is an awesome no-bake summer dessert! I regularly make this amaazzinngggg strawberry fro-yo recipe for dessert, and I combined it with bananas, pineapple and a graham-cracker crust to make frozen pie.
Orange juice (or apple juice, etc) has a lot less fat content than butter for your graham cracker crust, and it comes out fine.

Servings: 8
Calories: 229kcal
Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoon orange juice
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Banana Soft-Serve
- 3 bananas (cut into chunks and frozen)
- ⅓ cup skim milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch of salt
- ½ cup crushed pineapple
Strawberry Froyo
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
Topping
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8 whole strawberries
Instructions
- The night before, cut the 3 bananas into chunks, put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, and freeze them.
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F and lightly coat a pie plate (or pie dish) with nonstick spray.
- Make the pie crust: Crush the graham crackers by putting them in a sealed plastic bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin. Add the cinnamon and orange juice and mix until you have a "dough." Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pie plate and bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust turns lightly golden-brown.
- Make the banana soft-serve: Combine the frozen banana chunks, milk, ¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and a small pinch of salt in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Stir in the crushed pineapple.
- Transfer the banana soft serve to the pie plate, and spread evenly with a spatula. Put the pie plate into the freezer for a bit while you make the strawberry fro-yo layer.
- Make the strawberry froyo: Put the frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, ¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and a tiny pinch of salt into the food processor and blend until smooth.
- Spread the strawberry mixture on top of the banana layer.
- Top with 8 whole strawberries, and return to the freezer for several hours.
- If you want, you can mix 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder + 1 tablespoon maple syrup to drizzle over the top just before serving.
