I first made this as a birthday surprise for a friend who's very concerned about fat. I love this, it's not as heavy as a traditional key lime pie but so flavorful! From Self magazine.
Ingredients:
11/2 cups graham crackers, crushed
1/4 cup sugar
5 tbsp butter, melted
14 oz nonfat sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, preferably key lime
1 tbsp lime zest (more if you like)
1 egg
2 egg yolks and whites separated
1/4 teasp cream of tartar
2 cups low-calorie whipped cream
1 lime, thinly sliced for garnish
Directions:
1. For crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and butter. Spread evenly over bottom and sides of a nonstick 9 pie pan and bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool.
2. For filling: In a medium bowl, using a fork, beat milk, lime juice, and zest. Add 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks (reserve whites) and beat well. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. After about 20 seconds, add cream of tartar. Fold whites into custard mixture and pour into partially baked crust. Bake 45 to 60 minutes or until set. Let cool. Serve with whipped cream. Garnish with lime slices, if desired. Nutritional analysis per serving: 320 calories, 9 g fat (5 g saturated fat)
