Easiest Pie You'll Ever Love

Yogurt Pies
My kids who won't eat any kind of fruit pie, LOVE these!

ingredients:
1 graham cracker pie crust
2 8 oz. containers of yogurt (any flavor)
1 container cool whip

Mix together yogurt and cool whip and spread into pie crust. Freeze.

Voila!

Now for the confession... it's been so long since I've made one of these, I can't remember if the filling mixture fills one or two pie crusts, so you might want to have two on hand, just in case it's too much for one!
