Coconut Cream Pie Coffee Cooler
Looking for a cool treat to help you beat the heat, something you can whip up quickly and easily? I came up with this coffee cooler while looking for a way to get my daily coffee fix and keep cool on these hot summer days. I used yogurt as the base instead of milk to give it a thicker consistency. Also, the yogurt offers a simple way to flavor the coffee cooler without requiring lots of extra ingredients or added calories and fat. I added the graham crackers for a bit of texture and to give you the graham cracker crust flavor that an actual coconut cream pie would have.
