Orange Jello Yogurt Crunch Pie
This jello yogurt pie features yogurt, oranges, jello, butter, coconut and cereal flakes. This is a jello light pie recipe, which needs to be baked and then cooled. The jello pie is served in a pie shell, made from the coconut, butter, and cereal.
The orange and coconut flavors go together well and the yogurt keeps the filling creamy and smooth. With a lot of jello recipes, jello molds are used but making the jello in a pie shell is a good look for this type of dessert. This is a healthy jello recipe and you can use a different flavor of jello and a different type of canned fruit if you prefer.
A lot of jello recipes are smooth and soft but the crunch factor in the following orange jello crunch pie makes it extra special and deliciously different from the rest. Use your favorite cereal to make it extra flavorful.
