Carolyn Braden Says "Easiest and Yummiest Key Lime Pie!"

Photos by Carolyn Braden















This recipe is from Southern Living Magazine.  It truly is as good or better than any restaurant's Key Lime Pie I've tasted.  Seriously!  Any........it's lower in fat than a regular Key Lime Pie Recipe.

Serves 8

1 (14 oz.) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup fresh Key lime juice (it took me almost 1 small bag of small key limes to get 1/2 cup of juice)  Use real juice!  Don't be tempted to use the bottled kind!
2 tsp. Key lime zest
1 (6 oz.) reduced fat ready made graham cracker crust
1 (8 oz.) container fat-free (or light) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Whisk together first 4 ingredients until well blended.  Pour mixture into piecrust; place pie on baking sheet.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 17 minutes or until pie is set.  Remove pie from baking sheet to a wire rack, and let pie cool completely (about 1 hour).
3.  Top with whipped topping and chill 3 to 24 hours.

You can use regular lime juice and zest if you can't find key limes.  My mom LOVES Key Lime Pie so I can't wait to make it for her the next time she visits!
