3/14 = Pi day

Not too long ago we went to some friends' house for dinner and for dessert my friend Phyllis served Key Lime Pie which The Big Guy and I thought was so delicious; ever so light, full of flavor, very fluffy and needless to say made a nice presentation.

I thought she had been slaving for hours squeezing those tiny key limes but she said it only took 5 minutes. Really? Huh? Homemade key lime pie. . . . in five minutes? Was I surprised when she handed me the paper insert from a Keebler pie crust. Who pays attention to those recipes? Certainly not moi. But this one looked too easy for words!

So, the next week I had to try it for myself but since I didn't have lime yogurt but I did have strawberry and a mixed berry, it's was time to experiment. I used a strawberry gelatin with these yogurts. Ooh, la la ~ was it ever so pretty! And tasty, if I do say so myself.

Since I just read today that tomorrow (Sunday which is today for you readers) is pi day, it goes without saying I don't have my own pie pic to show you. The photo above is purloined borrowed from the Keebler site. I'm sure they won't mind since you will be using their crust. You will be using their crust, right? Just nod and say emphatically, yes of course!

Anyway, it seems you can use any combo of yogurt and gelatin you would like. Just be sure to use the sugar free gelatin. If you come up with any better combos, let's hear them. Here's what you need.

5 Minute Key Lime Pie

1/4 c. boiling water
1 pkg. (4 serving size) sugar free lime flavor gelatin
2 containers ( 6 oz each) fat free key lime pie yogurt
1 tub (8 oz) frozen low fat non dairy whipped topping, thawed
1 Keebler graham cracker ready crust.

1. Dissolve gelatin in the boiling water.


2. In large bowl whisk together gelatin mixture and yogurt. Fold in whipped topping carefully. Spread in crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set.


3. Garnish as desired. Store in refrigerator.

Voila, now wasn't that easy ~ yield: 8 servings
