Ingredients
- 6 sheets graham crackers
- 1- 1/2 teaspoons gelatin
- 1/2 cup key lime juice
- 6 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 1 cup 0% fat Stonyfield plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
- key lime slices
- whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tbsp cold whipped butter
Instructions
- 1
In a food processor, combine graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar, then pulse several times.
- 2
Incorporate 1 tablespoon of water and pulse again until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Firmly press the mixture into an 8-inch pie dish, ensuring the crust is uniformly about 1/8-inch thick along the bottom and up the sides.
- 4
Place the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes prior to baking; this helps maintain its structure when serving.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the crust until the edges turn a lovely golden brown, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
- 6
Once baked, transfer the crust to a wire rack to cool completely before adding the filling.
- 7
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of lime juice with the gelatin, stirring to combine.
- 8
Heat the remaining 6 tablespoons of key lime juice in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds (ensuring it doesn’t boil) to help dissolve the gelatin, then mix well until fully dissolved.
- 9
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and lime zest until smooth. Then, pour in the key lime juice mixture and blend again until everything is fully combined. Pour this filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- 10
Allow the pie to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- 11
If desired, top the pie with slices of key lime and a dollop of whipped cream for garnish.
