Chobani Lemon Pies

Looking to make a healthier switch and to add a little yogurt to your recipes?
Chobani at www.Chobani.com  makes it super easy!
 I was sure surprised. I had been wanting to make some pies for awhile now but the sugar filled jams and pie fillings always made me think twice. I am not much of a sugar eater, but I do love a nice warm piece of pie with a cup of tea.

Today I made my version of a mini lemon pie using some Chobani Greek Lemon Yogurt. What a delicious little pie, small enough to not compromise your diet and full of all the benefits of Greek yogurt!

First you will need:

Chobani Greek Lemon Yogurt

2 rolls of pastry dough (homemade or store bought)

1 lemon

1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water added (beaten)

3-4 inch Heart shaped cookie cutter

1 teaspoon cornstarch

optional: some chocolate chips melted for drizzling finished pies

Heat oven to 400*

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Roll out dough and cut as many hearts out as you can I ended up with 5 pies

Mix the yogurt with the cornstarch and add a tablespoon of lemon juice from the fresh lemon.



Place half the hearts on the tray, add a spoonful of the yogurt, next brush the edges with the egg mix and layer on the top heart, press down the edges only with your fingers to seal, then using a fork press the edges, this helps to seal and makes a lovely decoration around the edge.



Brush the tops with the egg mix and bake for about 12-16 minutes, just until browned around the edges.

Gorgeous!

If you desire a little chocolate, melt your chips and drizzle on the top!

The inside turns to a nice creamy custard texture, with just enough lemon tartness, not too sweet.

These would make perfect little pies for a tea party or just a little after dinner dessert.

Chobani has so many flavors of yogurt, you can make any pie you desire!

I am thinking of some Chobani chocolate yogurt pies for my chocolate loving husband!
