Honey Yogurt No-Bake Cream Cheese Pie

Are we over this winter yet? I know most of the US is getting hit with odd snowstorms and record low temperatures. My own area has been a mess for the better part of the year. Being so close to Lake Michigan, we get that nasty lake effect snow, and this year alone we've already more than doubled the snowfall that we saw the last 2 winters. Our roads are so iced over and they are saying that with how cold it is, salt won't even melt it and they aren't sending out the road crews to break it up. So, we're all sitting at home just waiting for the cold snap to pass because it is too dangerous to drive and too cold to do much of anything outdoors. My daughter's favorite thing to do these days is ask if we have any "sweet little treats" in the house to make the gloomy days a little more bearable. I did have some leftover Christmas chocolates in the pantry, but this week we decided to make our own sweet little treat to pass the time as well as curb our sweet tooth. I wanted to make a cheesecake but didn't have the 4 bricks of cream cheese that my recipe needed, but I did have 2 bricks which was the perfect amount for whipping up a Honey Yogurt No-Bake Cream Cheese Pie recipe from Golden Blossom Honey. 

 

This pie is like a cheesecake, but creamier and faster to prepare since there's no baking required. It's a lot simpler than a full blown cheesecake as well because it's really just beat, pour, set, eat. Nothing is easier than that when it comes to homemade treats. I liked this recipe because of the lemon inclusion. Yellow always makes me think of warm, sunny days, and we could definitely use those vibes right about now. I was thinking that this would be a lovely dessert for Valentine's Day. If you wanted to switch up the flavor a little, you could swap plain yogurt for a flavored yogurt, like strawberry or cherry instead. I also thought that if you make your own crust (just graham cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter, then baked at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes) you could piece out the recipe into mini tart pans and customize the fruit topping to each recipient's individual tastes. For a special day or just because, this is one sweet little treat to brighten any day!
