so it's been a limey week :) is that a word? limey? anyway... since living in florida, i've been really into lime, especially key lime :) while grandma & my aunts were here this week, i remembered a recipe for key lime pie that's tasty -- especially when it's hot out! it keeps in the freezer, so nate was a particular fan of it as a nightly treat! it's also a light recipe (from Eating Light magazine) and super easy to make! :)
1 cup key lime juice (yes, it has to be key lime)
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 2 limes
1 box sugar-free lime jello
2 cans (14 oz) fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 tub (8 oz) fat-free frozen cool whip, thawed
2 graham cracker pie crusts (most of these seem to have trans fat, so i've been using organic granola pie crusts which are yummy too!)
1. Put Key Lime juice, zest, and juice in a bowl. Whisk in gelatin until almost dissolved, about 1 minute. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk until fully blended.
2. Whisk thawed cool whip in until blended. Pour mixture into crusts and freeze for at least six hours or until frozen.
the other 'limey' recipe we had this weekend was beer margaritas! it's even easier than the pie:
1 can lime-ade
that same can filled with tequila (ay ay!)
1 beer
1 can 7-up
ice
Mix in a pitcher until lime-ade dissolves and serve over ice. Enjoy all summer long ;)
