OK I know I am all about the dogs, cats, horses and animals, but sometimes I have to stop and smell the roses. Or in this case pie! I found a receipe that I just have to share. It is called Lime Chiffon Pie.
It is like Key Lime Pie but lighter and less calories. Only 130 calories per slice. Great for summer fun or a just because.
Prep time 10 minutes Total time is overnight (you will need to make thsi the night before you need it)
2/3 cup boiling water
1 pkg (4-serving) Jello Lime flavor sugar free low calorie gelatin
Ice Cubes
1/2 cup cold water
1 1/2 tsp grated lime peel (don't worry if you don't have it as it will turn out good)
2 TBsp lime juice
2 cups thawed Cool Whip Free whipped topping (or store brand to make it cheaper)
1 ready to use reduced fat graham cracker crumb crust (6oz)
OK Stir boiling water into gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Stir in lime peel and juice.
Add whipped topping; (I actually used the whol container) stir with wire whisk until well blended. Refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is very thick and will mound. Took me almost 45 minutes. Spoon into crust.
Refrigerate over night. Store leftover pie in fridge covered in cling-wrap.
