Key Lime Pie

Jul 09, 2008 16:03

I love key lime pie . It is without any doubt over chocolate , my favorite dessert. Other then when i made it for the auction last year i haven't really made it lately because i had/have been doing WW and didn't want to consume a week's worth of points in one day. And because when i tried making it last with gluten free graham crackers i wasn't ( Read more... )

I've heard of this before, but we don't have it in Australia. Is a key lime different from normal limes?

it is the same type of lime as mexican limes. we were arrogant to claim them as our own as well.
do you have them? they are very small... like, um, cotton ball sized? i know that is a bad example. you could also buy bottled key lime juice maybe just make sure it is real key limes (or mexican) that are being used.

Where i'm from it would be a horrifying sin to use regular limes but i suppose you could. although then it would just be lime pie. :)

Yum! Rons favorite pie is key lime. I will give this a try, i've never made a key lime pie before, but it seems pretty simple. Thanks:)

It is even easier if you buy a pre made graham crust to save time. If you do that just take a pinch of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the top of the crust before you fill it.
It is quite delicious. For a real Key West pie flavor use a whole cup of juice. He will love it! Let me know how it turns out. :)

Thank you, love! Ryan LOVES key lime pie and just the other day noticed the grocer had some. I believe I'll make him a pie :)

Ew ! Don't buy it at the grocery ! Even store bakeries don't get it completely right. Publix Supermarket's in Fla (i'm sure you have seen them there) make a bakery pie that is good... but it still isn't as good as mine. Do try it Shells, he will love it :D

LOL Not the pie, but the actual Key Limes. Although he'll eat a store bought one in a pinch.

Oh man, that sounds so good! I LOVE key lime pie. In the NW you have to wait until a certain time of year to get actual key limes, though, so I have actually made Lime Pie more often than key lime pie. ;)

I will totally try your recipe. How many points is a slice? I just started back on WW too. And now I want pie. :-)

livininthelight July 11 2008, 01:07:55 UTC

wow, i have no clue to how many points that sucker has. i have never broke it down. i just figured in all my weekly flex points for it and am working out 20 extra minutes all week at the Y to account for it.

i am so happy i joined ww though. i wish i would have done it when i first started to pack on the weight after we moved here. such a great plan and i know i will be on it for life.

jessieliz July 11 2008, 02:00:09 UTC

Oh duh...I just plugged the recipe in to the on line thing and it came out to 9 points (if you figure it serves 8). *whew* I guess I'm gonna have to start biking again to be able to eat that once a week. LOL

livininthelight July 11 2008, 02:03:12 UTC

That totally explains why i got a fat ass !

eta ~ i would make a pie of it a week at one point !
