Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs ((you can use homemade!))
¼ tsp Salt
⅔ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 tsp Natural Butter Flavor
one batch Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk ((made with 1 tsp Xanthan Gum, not ½ tsp))
4 Large Egg Yolks
10g (1 tbs, packed) Organic Corn Starch
57g (¼ cup) Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Key Lime Zest
¾ cup Key Lime Juice ((freshly squeezed))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, stir together all of the ingredients. Press the mixture into a 9.5" pie dish. Bake for 13 minutes, or until fragrant and firm. Let cool while you make the filling.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and egg yolks. Whisk in the corn starch, then whisk in the yogurt and lime zest.
  • Last, whisk in the lime juice. It will look curdled at first, but just whisk it vigorously and it will become smooth. Mixture should be very thick, like pudding. Scoop the mixture into the crust and bake for ~16 minutes, or until set (when you move the pan, the center should jiggle slightly but stay in place, like jello)
  • Let cool for ~2 hours, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

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.
