This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie (phew, quite a mouthful).
For me, the “no bake” part wasn’t quite true as I opted to bake a chocolate crust for my pie.
The pie crust (which can be made with crushed biscuits for the “no bake” option) is lined with ganache, then halved fresh strawberries, then covered with a white chocolate cheesecake filling.
I made the ganache using chocolate and Greek yoghurt instead of cream. I still had to buy cream to whip for the filling (darn it!), but replaced the sour cream with more Greek yoghurt . It worked a treat.
I had to buy cream, cream cheese and white chocolate to make this pie, which made it an expensive recipe despite my use of yoghurt that I already had and making the pie crust instead of using crushed biscuits. For this reason, although the end product is tasty, it will not be returning in my house.

Sounds lovely but looks like a special occasion pie when you have lots of mouths to feed. I love cheesecakes but rarely make them as they are so rich unless there are plenty of people for sharing.
ReplyDelete100% Johanna, it is delicious but rich. I like to think that the yoghurt toned it down a tad.
ReplyDeleteGood tips re the yoghurt! I'll obviously be minifying this one (and also using what I have on hand!). Yours looks yum!
ReplyDeleteYour chocolate crust version looks fantastic. Sorry it won't be making a repeat.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the chocolate crust idea!! Good one!
ReplyDeleteLike the chocolate crust and the use of yogurt. All good alternatives to the recipe if I make it again.
ReplyDeleteNo-Bake is perfect for us in the northern hemisphere! What a tasty pie!!!
