KEY LIME MERINGUE PIE MADE WITH NO CONDENSED MILK
I have this thing about canned condensed milk. Every time I look at the number of calories in the can, I just balk at using it. But I do love Key Lime Pie in spite of the fact that most recipes use the condensed milk. So I was delighted to find a recipe for this favorite without the condensed milk. It may end up having the same number of calories, but I will just feel better knowing I avoided the high-calorie milk. I have not yet tried this recipe; I am saving it for a special occasion. Note that preparation time includes cooling time.

[email protected]The crust on this pie was a little soggy. I think I would have preferred a graham cracker crust.
