Creamy no-bake Greek Yogurt Pie with a vanilla bean filling and naturally sweetened date-nut crust. Light, refreshing, and topped with berries—perfect for summer!
Add the dates to a bowl and cover with very hot water. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and cut in half, removing the pit.
Spray a 8-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Add the soaked dates, nuts, and salt to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until the mixture is finely chopped. The mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie plate. Lightly spray your hands or the bottom of a flat dry measuring cup with nonstick spray and gently press the crust out to cover the base and the sides of the pie plate.
In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, vanilla bean paste, orange zest, and honey. Spoon the mixture into the pie plate and smooth into an even layer.
Arrange the fruit in your desired pattern. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Slice into wedges and use a small offset spatula to remove the slices.
Notes
*I didn’t use pitted dates because the water gets inside the date while soaking and makes it watery**Best served day of (after sitting in the fridge for an hour) or next day. Gets a little watery after the second day.A Few More Notes From Testing:
Use the thickest Greek yogurt you can find. I like Fage or Stonyfield—they’re much thicker than most other brands. If your yogurt pours out easily when you tilt the container, it’s probably too thin. In that case, I recommend straining it first for the best texture.
Whole milk Greek yogurt is best. I tested it with fat-free yogurt, but whole milk gives the pie the richest flavor and creamiest consistency. It’s absolutely worth the extra fat and calories here!
Want a firmer slice? Try adding 1½ teaspoons of unflavored gelatin—just like I do in my Keylime Yogurt Pie—for a sturdier set.
