Low-Fat Key Lime Chiffon Pie
13 ingredients
openrecipes
Egg whites stand in for the usual whipped cream, and nonfat condensed milk is used, transforming this version into a light chiffon pie that tastes, and looks, deliciously old-fashioned. Key limes are the size of a very large grape. Far more tart than Persian limes, they are hard to find fresh. Bottled Key lime juice, sold in some grocery stores and at specialty-food stores, works just as well.
