I mentioned in the comment section of a previous post that I’d publish the Key Lime Pie Recipe I love to make. Well, here it is. I’d love to take credit for this, but I actually got it from Weight Watchers. It is the simplest recipe I’ve ever seen. The first time I made it, I was just sure I missed a step, because could it really be this easy? It is. There isn’t anything “real” in this recipe, so the pieces are only 3-points a piece.
I used to make it all the time, and we eventually got burned out on it. So, I stopped making it. When Claire and I were in the store gathering ingredients for the meal I was going to make my hubby for Father’s Day, I tried to find a ready-made Key Lime Pie, because it’s one of his favorite desserts. I couldn’t find one! Then it hit me…I used to make this! All the time! I got out my Palm Pilot, and sure enough, I still had the recipe with me. So, we gathered the ingredients and made it for him. He loved it!
Even he didn’t remember why I’d stopped making them. 
So, we may have to make some more this summer.
Key Lime Pie
1 box (0.3 oz) sugar-free lime-flavor gelatin
1/4 cup boiling water
2 containers (6 oz each) key lime pie-flavor light yogurt
1 container (8 oz) frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
1 prepared 9″ reduced-fat graham cracker pie crustIn large heat resistant bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. With wire whisk, stir in yogurt; with wooden spoon, fold in whipped topping.
Transfer mixture to prepared crust; refrigerate overnight. (Note: You don’t have to let it set overnight, but the longer it sets, the better.)
I’m not a foodie, nor am I good at taking photos of food or the steps it takes to make a recipe. (Cathy, from The Noble Pig, is…you should check out her blog sometime for some really cool recipes!) In fact, the only picture I was able to snap of this pie was when it was almost gone. Claire is finishing the last half of the last piece.

It’s a good thing this pie is so easy to make, because it certainly doesn’t last long.

You are so sweet. This sounds terrific. I’ve also been meaning to make my lazy girl’s rendition of key lime pie. I this this recipe too. We always have to have some kind of dessert over here.
