Yogurt Pie with Berries
A perfect summer dessert needs to be refreshing and light, just like this yogurt pie ☺
My fruit of choice is always tangy berries to balance the sweetness of the cream. This time I used blackberries and blueberries. But strawberries, raspberries, or even cranberries would be an excellent choice.
It’s an easy-to-make and easy-to-eat cake that will accompany any summer day or BBQ.
