Key Lime Pie?

[Loriblue]

I made a crustless key lime pie recipe that I got from the forums:

CRUSTLESS KEY LIME PIE

1 small package sugar free lime jello
1/2 cup boiling water
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon lime juice, one small lime
Lime peel, finely grated, one small lime
**1/2 cup heavy cream (see note below)
Dissolve the jello in the boiling water, stirring for 3 minutes. Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat the

jello into the cream cheese (this will make a mess and splatter all over the place). Add the lime juice and rind. Mix the cream separately on high till stiff,

then fold the lime mixture into it. Pour into a pie plate that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Chill until set.
Makes 4 servings

Is this okay? What about sugar free jell-o?

Thanks!

Re: Key Lime Pie?

I would steer clear of the sugarfree jello if it contains aspartame (which we are told to avoid) and substitute it with some unflavoured gelatine instead. You could increase the lime juice to add more lime flavour.


Also maybe use just the zest of the lime instead of the whole peel to concentrate the flavour more.
