1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

Make the pudding by blending together the lemon pudding mix with the almond milk in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or in a handheld mixer) and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.

When the pudding is ready, beat the cream cheese by itself in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer) until smooth.

Next, add the prepared pudding, yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat them together on low speed until smooth and combined.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in half of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture and pour this filling into the prepared crust.

Spread the remaining half of whipped topping over the pie and refrigerate for 3 hours, or until firm.

Garnish with optional thinly sliced lemon and zest.
