Insomnia. Whee.

Instead of sleeping, I am mentally developing banana cream pie recipes.

This is marginally better than stressing about work, as it does not actually involve stress. However, it is still not sleep.

Do any of you have suggestions on how to thicken runny yogurt to a pie-filling consistancy, preferably without drastically changing the taste or nutritional content? I've considered cornstarch, gelatin, and leaving it to drain in cheesecloth overnight, but I'm not sure if any of these would actually work well.

eggs, tbs of flour and butter, melted together for a few minutes to take away the bitter taste.....thats all I know for now....

What about a banana custard pie instead?

See, the problem is that I have this yogurt that I think would work great as filling for a banana cream pie (Stonyfield Farms Banilla yogurt).

I think just draining some of the liquid out would probably be effective. The solids and liquids separated some over the past few days, and the yogurt I had this morning was a lot less runny than the serving I had the other day.
