Key Lime Pie

I really had no idea that there were such things as actual Key limes until I made this recipe!  All my life, I just thought it was a lime pie named after the Florida Keys!  I sheepishly came to find out that key limes are a smaller and tangier version of a regular lime.  I found them next to the lemons and limes in the produce section.

Ingredients

1 can (14 oz) fat-free sweetened condensed milk

3/4 cup egg substitute

1/2 cup fresh Key lime juice

2 tsp. Key lime zest

1 (6 oz.) reduced fat, ready-made graham cracker crust

1 (8 oz.) container fat-free frozen whipped topping, thawed

Lime peel strips for garnish

Whisk together first 4 ingredients until well blended.  Pour mixture into pie crust.  

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 17 minutes or until pie is set.  

Remove from baking sheet and let cool for 1 hour.

Chill 3-24 hours.  Top with whipped topping and lime peel garnish just before serving. 

*Regular lime juice and zest may be substituted if you can't find Key limes.  Your pie just won't be as tangy.
