Horizon Services Head Chef Contest
Our Head Chef Debra poses with her new grill!
During the month of June we asked our Horizon Insiders to submit their favorite summer recipes into our Horizon Services Head Chef Contest!
Our judges ultimately put their taste buds on trial to come up with our grand prize winning recipe which combined the spirit of summer with an easy to follow recipe that a chef of any experience level could enjoy creating.
Out of all of our entries, Debra from Newark, Delaware took home the title of Horizon Head Chef with her Cool, Easy, No Bake Cream Pie.
Debra’s Cool, Easy, No Bake Cream Pie
- 1 ready-made graham pie crust
- 1 – 8oz. container of fruit yogurt your choice of flavor
- 1 container of Cool-Whip or similar brand topping
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup of matching (or complimentary) fruit (optional)
- In a large bowl, stir fruit yogurt into Cool Whip. Toss in the fruit and fold lightly (or leave as is and reserve fruit as a garnish on top, added just before serving).
- Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. It will be fluffy and full.
- Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the filling to set. (or make the day before and chill overnight) .
- Cut, serve, and enjoy!
Debra's recent version of her Cool, Easy, No Bake Cream Pie.
Debra encourages chefs to get playful with the recipe and add their own spin by utilizing various types of fruits and yogurts. For those health-conscious diners she suggests using a fat free, low calorie version of the whipped topping.

You can use 2 of the smaller containers of yogurt instead of the 8 ounce size. And it’s even better if you freeze it instead of refrigerate!
But PLEASE be mindful of our 4 footed friends. Whether you use yogurt for a pie or just enjoy it, if it is like Yoplait and has a narrow top – cut both sides down to the bottom before tossing. Many animals have been found starved to death because one of these type containers were stuck on their snouts.
Thanks so much for the wonderful grill – lots of yummy things are coming out of there! Last night was ground sirloin and swiss cheese stuffed portabella mushroom caps and corn on the cob – but that’s another recipe. LOL

Those are some good ideas. I have never thought about using two of the smaller containers of yogurt.
