Lemon Meringue Pie Pops

What could be better than a slice of pie? Pie pops! Our frozen take on lemon meringue pie has a Graham cracker crust, creamy lemon filling and a fluffy topping. Basically it’s your own little piece of heaven–on a stick!

Ingredients

• 1 (4 serving size) box lemon instant pudding and pie filling mix
• 1 1/2 cups Half-and-Half
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 (6 ounce) container Yoplait® Original 99% Fat Free lemon burst yogurt*
• 7 tablespoons coarsely crushed Graham crackers
• 1/4 cup Marshmallow Creme
• 1/2 cup whipping cream

Instructions

1. In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and Half-and-Half with whisk for 2 minutes.
2. Beat in lemon juice and yogurt.
3. Pour about 1/3 cup mixture into each of 7 (5 ounce) paper cups. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon Graham crackers.
4. Cover cups with foil; insert craft stick into center of each pop. (Or fill ice pop molds according to manufacturer’s directions.) Freeze about 6 hours or until frozen.
5. When ready to serve pops, in small bowl, beat Marshmallow Creme and 1 tablespoon of the whipping cream with electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
6. Add remaining whipping cream, increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
7. Remove each pop from cup. Spread top of each with about 2 tablespoons marshmallow mixture, forming meringue peaks.

Notes

* If you can't find lemon burst yogurt, you can substitute French vanilla.
