Ingredients

• 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
• 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 60 grams Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 500 milliliters Skim milk
• 40 grams Cornstarch
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 150 grams Fat-free Greek yogurt
• 60 grams Whipped topping (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to compact the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the protein powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the skim milk until smooth. Place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks to temper them, whisking constantly. Then, add the tempered yolks back into the milk mixture in the saucepan.

Step 8

Continue cooking the mixture over medium-low heat for another 2 minutes until it reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Fold in the Greek yogurt until fully combined.

Step 11

Pour the cream filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.

Step 12

Cover the pie with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 13

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 14

Slice and serve the pie topped with a dollop of whipped topping if desired. Enjoy your high-protein treat!
