This can be made low fat by using low fat condensed milk and fat free cool whip
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 egg yolks
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 limes, zest of, grated
1/2 cup lime juice
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. To prepare the crumb crust, combine crumbs, granulated sugar and butter. Press evenly on bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake 8 minutes or until edge is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F To prepare the filling, combine egg yolks, milk, lime rind and juice, and whisk until blended.
4. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff. (The tips flop over when the beater is lifted.) Do not overbeat. Stir about a third of the whites into milk mixture. Fold in remaining whites. Turn into crust and bake 15 minutes. Chill 4 hours or until cold.
5. Whip cream until thickened. Add confectioners’ sugar and whip until stiff. Spread over top of pie.
