FLUFFY KEY LIME PIE FROM TOH (LIGHTER VERSION)



Fluffy Key Lime Pie from Toh (Lighter Version) image

Got this on-line from Taste of Home, a little differant from other recipes with no condensed milk. It's described as low in fat, sugar and fuss, doesn't get any easier than that and would be a good desert for my Mom who is a diabetic. Diabetic exchanges reported as 1 starch, 1 fruit and 1 fat. Finally got around to making this and for a light version it's very good, fluffy and tart and pretty simple. A nice treat for those warm summer evenings. I couldn't find the prepared graham crust so used recipe#338535 and made it with splenda and it turned out great.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect graham cracker crust, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before filling it with the lime filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beating it until smooth. This will prevent lumps and ensure a creamy filling.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined. This will prevent the sugar from crystallizing and resulting in a grainy filling.
  • To avoid a runny filling, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and lime juice in a small bowl before adding them to the cream cheese mixture. This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from curdling.
  • To prevent a soggy crust, chill the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Conclusion:

With its creamy, tangy filling, refreshing lime flavor, and a delectable graham cracker crust, this fluffy key lime pie is the perfect ending to any meal. Its lightness makes it the ideal choice for those who prefer a less dense dessert. By following the simple tips and instructions provided in this article, you can easily create a delicious and impressive key lime pie that will be enjoyed by all.
