Answer 2

Keylime Pie
The rich, tart pie is named for the funny little limes that grow in the Florida keys. Those are almost impossible to find in stores, but regular limes offer plenty enough sacrifice in the amount of time it takes to juice them out. Remember to wear plastic gloves while juicing the limes, as something in the skins will make you feel as if you had toothpicks shoved under your fingernails the day after if you don't!

This reduced-calorie recipe tastes great and you can still watch your weight. Quick and easy and the combinations are endless! You can also make strawberry, peach, cherry, orange etc. Use you imagination and your favorites!

Ingredients:
1 box lime jello
2 keylime yogurts
1 small bowl low fat cool whip
1 low fat graham cracker crust

Directions:
Dissolve jello in 1/4-cup boiling water. Fold in yogurt.

Fold in cool whip.

Pour in crust and put in refrigerator until firm.

Serves eight.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Specialty Recipe
Key Lime Pie

Most of the fat has been eliminated from this delightful recipe, which has been compared to "eating clouds." You can top this with low-fat whipped cream, or else splurge and use real whipped cream, flavored with Corvosier or vanilla and a bit of powdered sugar.

Ingredients
2 or 3 Tablespoons butter
6 graham crackers, ground to a fine powder in a blender
3 eggs, separated
One 14-ounce can non-fat sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 Tablespoon grated lime zest (optional)
Whipping cream
2 or 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar (to taste)
2 Tablespoons Corvosier or vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With fingers, spread softened butter over surface of pie pan, then mix remaining butter with crumbs and pat into place.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. In a separate large bowl, beat egg yolks, adding condensed milk, lime juice, and zest. Gently fold in egg whites, mixing very lightly to preserve beaten egg whites. Pour gently into pie shell. Bake for 15 minutes.

Cool to room temperature, then top with cream whipped with powdered sugar and flavoring (Corvosier or vanilla).
