Ingredients
- 2 ½ cup fruity pebbles cereal
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 8-ounce block cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 6-ounce container plain non-fat greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey
- zest of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup thawed whipped topping, for garnish
- ¼ cup fruity pebbles cereal, for garnish
- lime twist, for garnish
Directions
- In a food processor, grind cereal into a fine powder. Combine ground cereal, sugar, and salt in medium sized bowl. Stir in the melted butter until thoroughly blended.
- Pack mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan and press firmly to bottom and sides, bringing crumbs evenly up to the rim.
- Chill 1 hour before filling.
- With an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, yogurt, honey, lime zest, and vanilla until well combined and fluffy, 5 minutes. Spoon into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, top each slice with a dollop of thawed whipped topping, a sprinkling of cereal, and a twist of lime.
