Banana Yogurt Cream Pie

This cream pie is served in a footed dessert glass. Make it for a snack or dessert. It is healthy since it uses yogurt as the base along with a vanilla wafer.

  • 2/3 cup greek yogurt (vanilla flavored)
  • 1/2 each banana (cut in thin slices)
  • 1 tablespoon whipped cream
  • 1 each vanilla wafer (break in pieces)
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

  1. Break the vanilla wafer into pieces. Place in the bottom of a clear footed bowl.

  2. Top with 1/2 of the yogurt. Next add 1/2 of the banana slices followed by more yogurt.

  3. Top with the whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
