JOE'S STONE CRAB KEY LIME PIE



Joe's Stone Crab Key Lime Pie image

I made this for my grandparent's 61st wedding anniversary recently. They lived in Florida in their youth, and loved Joe's Stone, and have lamented on occasion that they will never be able to go back (they now live in Virginia). The family rallied 'round and ordered the crab claws directly from Joe's, got a Joe's Stone Crab Cookbook, and prepared the rest of the meal directly from it. What a fantastic surprise it was... and this was a very sweet end to the night. NOTE: I was only able to find about 8 key limes, which wasn't enough juice. I supplemented with Nellie & Joe's Key Lime juice without a problem. Also, I thought the pie was so rich it didn't even need any whipped cream.

NO-BAKE KEY LIME YOGURT PIE



No-Bake Key Lime Yogurt Pie image

This cool and creamy custard pie is too good to reserve only for times of indulgence. At least that's how we feel, and it's the reason we developed this lower-calorie recipe. Its limey flavor comes from the inclusion of juice, zest and one secret shortcut ingredient: Yoplait® Light Thick & Creamy Key lime pie yogurt. Adding in yogurt, along with fat-free cream cheese and Cool Whip lite, helped us recreate the trademark creamy texture and rich flavor of this pie, while avoiding the higher-calorie evaporated milk and whipped cream used in the traditional recipe. The result of these smart swaps is a 200-calorie treat that's earned approval from well over 100 of your fellow home cooks.

WEIGHT WATCHERS KEY LIME PIE



Weight Watchers Key Lime Pie image

My mom made this dessert for Thanksgiving the first year I was a Weight Watcher and it went better then the pecan or pumpking pies. 3 points per serving. Sorry, this recipe isn't core.

Provided by Budgiegirl

Categories     Pie

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 reduced fat graham cracker crust
1 (1/16 ounce) package sugar-free lime gelatin
1/4 cup boiling water
1 (8 ounce) container fat-free whipped topping
2 (6 ounce) key lime pie yogurt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water.
  • Stir in yogurt with wire whisk.
  • Fold in whipped topping with wooden spoon.
  • Spread in crust.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • For the Best Results, Use Fresh Limes: Limes give this pie its unique and refreshing flavor, so it's important to use fresh limes whenever possible. Fresh lime juice, zest, and lime curd are the key ingredients in this pie, and they all contribute to its deliciousness. If you don't have fresh limes on hand, you can substitute bottled or frozen lime juice, but the flavor won't be quite as good.
  • Make Sure Your Cream Cheese is Softened: This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients and will help to prevent lumps. If your cream cheese is cold and hard, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using it.
  • Don't Over-mix the Pie Filling: Over-mixing can make the pie filling tough, so be careful not to overdo it. Stir the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Bake the Pie in a Water Bath: This will help to prevent the pie crust from cracking and will also help to cook the pie more evenly. Place the pie plate inside a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water to come halfway up the sides of the pie plate.
  • Let the Pie Cool Completely Before Serving: This will give the pie time to set and will make it easier to slice. Once the pie is baked, let it cool for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

Conclusion:

This classic Key Lime Pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's light and refreshing, with a delicious lime flavor. It's perfect served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
