Recipe: Lime Chiffon Pie

Spring is in the air!  I love spring... fresh air, chirpy birds, and no more winter jackets!  It also means lighter tasting desserts.   One of my favourite spring/summer desserts is Lime Chiffon Pie.  I found this recipe for a lime chiffon pie a couple of years ago on the Kraft Canada website and I still love it.   I modified the recipe by adding the zest and juice of 1 whole lime.

I made the pie yesterday when the kids were sleeping.   Thank you kids!

Ingredients

2/3 cup boiling water

1 pkg. (0.3 oz.) JELL-O Lime Flavor Sugar Free Gelatin

Ice cubes

1/2 cup cold water

2 cups thawed COOL WHIP FREE Whipped Topping

lime zest from 1 lime

lime juice from 1 lime

1 ready-to-use reduced-fat graham cracker crumb crust (6 oz.) or a tart shell

Directions:

ADD boiling water to gelatin mix in large bowl; stir with whisk 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is melted.
STIR in COOL WHIP, zest and juice. Refrigerate 15 to 20 min. or until mixture is very thick and will mound. Spoon into crust.
REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until firm.

This is what it looks like when you pour it into the pie shell.  It looks exactly the same after its been refrigerated.

Happy Eating!
