This is the best dessert recipe of the summer! It is so light, so fresh, so bright! It is really easy too. This would be perfect to serve on a hot day or at a summer BBQ. It’s low calorie, low carb, and has a little bit of protein too! What’s not to like?

I have to admit, I am not the most savvy when it comes to making desserts. A lot of time, I prefer to follow a recipe. I created this recipe for one of my favorite brands, TruWhip, and so I had to figure it out! I was SO happy with how this turned out! It could have been a major flop, LOL!

You only need a few simple ingredients:

• Frozen Pie Crust – I bought the Pillsbury ones that are already in the pan frozen. They came in a two pack. This is what I used to calculate the macros as pie crusts can vary.
• Cream Cheese – I used reduced fat cream cheese
• TruWhip – the best whipped topping around! No artificial colors or flavors or weird oils!
• Sugar Free Lemon Jello – this helps the pie set and gives it great lemon flavor
• Vanilla Greek Yogurt – I used non fat Dannon, but use whatever you like!
• Lemon Juice and Zest

This pie does need some time to set up. Once it is ready, it does hold up decently in the fridge if you wanted to make it the night before. After a day, it still tastes great, but the crust gets soggier as time goes on.
