Creamy Lime or Lemon
Pie
- 1 prepared frozen pie crust
- 1/2 of a (1/4-ounce) envelope of Knox
Gelatine (plain gelatin)
- 1/2 cup hot water
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk--well chilled (I prefer fat-free)
1/2 cup fresh lemon or lime juice with the pulp (chilled)
1 teaspoon grated lime or lemon peel
1 package of Jell-0 brand pistachio flavored fat-free, sugar-free
instant pudding and pie filling mix
2 to 3 tablespoons of Splenda brand sweetener (optional)*
- Lime or lemon slices, or
mint sprigs for decorations on top of pie
- Lite-style non-dairy whipped topping (optional)
- Bake pie crust according to package directions;
set aside to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, dissolve
Knox Gelatine in the hot water; set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese
until smooth; beat in the cooled gelatin mixture, mixing well,
then slowly beat in the well-chilled evaporated milk. Next, add
the chilled lime or lemon juice and peel, mixing well. Chill
mixture in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Beat the instant pudding mix into the
chilled cream cheese mixture. Taste and add desired amount of
Splenda sweetener, if needed. Pour mixture into prepared pie
crust. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until set.
- Decorate pie with lime/lemon slices or
mint and serve with a dollop of whipped topping, if desired.
Makes 6 servings.
"Lite-style whipped nondairy topping
usually has 2 grams of sugar per serving. It helps to lessen
the 'tartness' from the lime or lemon flavoring. You might also
want to experiment with the how much Knox Gelatine to use, depending
on how thick you want pie filling to be. 'I find it helps' to
make the filling firmer and easier to slice. Enjoy, Elizabeth."
