Lime Frozen Yogurt Deconstructed Pie from Lucky Peach

We made this Lime Frozen Yogurt deconstructed pie from Lucky Peach magazine and really liked the zingy taste and rich body. The graham cracker crumbles were OK, but weren't so special. The lime yogurt froyo is fine as it is, or it makes a great key lime style pie. I'm taking it verbatim from their new web site, because I can never find it in my print magazine.


Makes 8 servings

LIME FROZEN YOGURT

2 C simple syrup
1/2 C + 2 T lime juice, strained
6 oz plain yogurt
3 1/2 oz sour cream

MAKE THE LIME FROZEN YOGURT

Combine the yogurt ingredients—syrup, lime juice, yogurt, sour cream—in a large mixing bowl, and process with an immersion blender for one minute, until everything is completely homogeneous.

Churn the mixture in an ice cream machine for 20 minutes, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, before serving. Serve with graham cracker crumble and toasted meringue.
