Sugar Free Key Lime Pie
From icantboilwater 14 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This is a reciope from Jaclyn in which I substituted by equal measure Splenda for sugar. I also change the measure of lime juice and lime zest to taste (tartness). I use a previously prepare/baked pie crust. A graham cracker crust can be substituted for those without sugar restrictions. Read more I like a meringue topping, but it can be without if desired See less

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for browning the meringue
- Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks and set the whites aside
- Combine the 1 cup of Splenda, flour, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in the key lime juice and water. Cook over medium heat, stiring frequently, until thickened (important that it thickens)

- To prepare the meringue, beat the egg whites until light and frothy. Add the cream of tarter and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually beat in the remaining 6 tablespoons of Splenda and beat until the meringue is still and glossy.
- por the lime filling into the prepared pie shell. pile the meringue on top, spreading it until it ttouches the edges of the pastry to prevent the meringue from shrinking.
- Bake the pie at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 5 to 6 minutes or until the meringue topping is golden brown (this step is skipped if no meringue toipping is used)
