Key Lime Pie Made With Yogurt

Must Try

Tips From The Betty Crocker Kitchens

Key Lime Yogurt Pie
  • tip 1 Research shows that eating 3 daily servings of low-fat calcium-rich dairy foods like yogurt can play an important role in weight loss plans.
  • tip 2 The extra-tart Key lime is smaller, rounder and yellower than the standard Persian limes found at most grocery-stores. When purchasing, look for smooth-skinned, heavy limes. These are indications the fruit is fresh and juicy. Unless you live in the Florida Keys, you might have to visit a specialty shop to find Key limes and you can expect to pay accordingly. An alternative to buying Key limes is to look for Key lime juice at your grocery store.
  • tip 3 While this recipe calls for using a store-bought graham cracker crust, you could easily make your own. For step-by-step instructions, check out our article on How to Make Graham Cracker Crust.

What Youll Need To Make Coconut Cream Pie

This recipe calls for four different forms of coconut:

  • Sweetened flaked coconut is the most common form of coconut used in baking. Typically sold in plastic bags in the baking aisle, it is the dried, shredded and sweetened meat of the coconut.
  • Coconut milk is made from shredded coconut flesh puréed with water. It has the consistency of cows milk and is unsweetened.
  • Cream of coconut is thicker and richer than coconut milk with a higher fat content, and it is sweetened. It is often sold with the drink/cocktail mixers at the supermarket.
  • Coconut flakes are the dried, shaved, unsweetened meat of the coconut. Toasted, they make a pretty garnish for desserts they are also delicious in granola. Most large supermarkets carry them but you can always find them in organic markets.

I dont know how to explain this heat to you, except to say, that boob sweat has become the newest fashion trend with all women and a few unfortunate men.

You know, cold stuff.

This FroYo is the perfect summer treat because it requires no heat and barely any mixing. Which if you are dealing with any of this heat, you know is a god send.

    Should I Use Greek Yogurt Or Sour Cream

    I opted for Greek yogurt for this key lime pie because it has no saturated fat and fewer calories than sour cream. I also like how greek yogurt comes in single one-cup servings so there is no fuss trying to get the correct amount into a measuring cup. Both sour cream and greek yogurt add creaminess to the pie.

    Bake And Chill The Pie

    You’ll fill the pie crust then bake the pie for a short 10 minutes.

  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Then, bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Set on a wire rack until cooled to room temperature.
  • Then, cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Prior to serving, top the pie with whipped cream and lime slices, if desired.
  • How to tell when key lime pie is done?

    No one likes an overbaked pie! The easiest way to tell when key lime pie is done baking is the filling should only jiggle slightly in the center. This will take about 8-10 minutes. The filling will continue to set as the pie cools.

    What Youll Need To Make Key Lime Pie

    KEY LIME PIE recipe
    • Youll need 8 to 10 limes total for this recipe. Choose plump limes that give a little when you squeeze them they will be easier to juice. You should get about 2 tablespoons of juice from each lime. Be sure to zest the limes before you squeeze the juice from them, as its near impossible to do afterward.
    • Sweetened condensed milk is canned milk from which water has been removed, and sugar has been added. Be sure not to confuse it with evaporated milk, which is usually sold right alongside.
    • With no eggs, it may be hard to believe that this pie will set, but have faith it will.

    Key Lime Greek Yogurt Pie

    The Means: I own a pie plate and my fridge is perpetually stocked with Greek yogurt.

    The Motive: Ive been wanting to post a Key Lime Pie recipe on this blog forever and finally found a terrific on-the-side recipe from Chobani.

    The Opportunity: Its Pie Day!

    I am guilty of pie!

    Honestly, it doesnt take a lot to convince me to make pie. But in this particular case the stars did align in such a way that making this particular Key Lime Greek Yogurt Pie at this point in time just seemed like the perfect thing to do.

    If you love the mouthwatering tartness of a traditional Key Lime Pie like I do, youll find the addition of yogurt here to be especially refreshing. Yogurt is mixed into the key lime custard itself and its also used for the topping, sweetened with a little confectioners sugar . One important thing to keep in mind when using yogurt as a topping, however, is that it does tend to separate after a while. So if youre planning to serve just a few slices at a time, its best to dollop your slices individually rather than the pie as a whole. Take three guesses as to how I know this!

    So, as I mentioned, today is Pie Day Day on 3.14 we previously celebrated with another terrific Greek yogurt pie). Nearly 200 food bloggers will be posting pies today for no other reason than we like pie. Its as good a reason as any, right?

    Key Lime Pie Tips And Faqs

    No Bake Key Lime Yogurt Pie

    Can I use a store bought crust?

    Yes, absolutely! Graham cracker crust is really easy to make at home but if you’re in a hurry store bought will work too.

    How can I top my pie?

    I like to keep it simple with a dusting of lime zest and a little bit of whipped cream and a lime twist. You can also cover the whole pie with a thick layer of whipped cream or meringue if you prefer. Lime slices on each slice are also a nice touch if you don’t want whipped cream.

    How do I make a lime twist garnish?

    To make a lime twist, just cut a thin slice of lime. Then cut from the center point of the lime to one edge of the peel. Then take the two free corners at the peel and pull them in opposite directions, being careful not to pull apart the uncut half of the lime slice.

    Can I juice my own limes and how many will I need?

    Yes, this recipe will also work perfectly well if you want to use fresh squeezed lime juice. For key limes you will need around 12-15. For Persian limes you’ll need around 4 or 5.

    What type of pie dish should I use?

    For this key lime pie I recommend using a standard 9 inch glass pie dish. Metal will work but you will get more even heating with a glass dish. Do not use a deep dish pie dish for this one.

    How To Make Key Lime Pie Ice Cream

    Begin by making the crust. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Using a spoon first and then your fingers, mix until evenly combined, making sure to break up any lumps of brown sugar.

    Press the crust into an even 1/4-inch layer on the prepared baking sheet.

    Bake until golden around the edges, 7 to 8 minutes.

    Let cool, then use a spoon to break into chunks.

    Set the crust aside while you make the filling. To start, zest and juice the limes.

    In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and creamy, about 1 minute.

    Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Add the heavy cream, lime zest, lime juice and salt.

    And beat until evenly combined, about 30 seconds.

    Arrange half of the crust evenly over the bottom of an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan.

    Pour the ice cream mixture over top.

    Then cover with the remaining crust crumbles. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until completely firm, at least 8 hours or overnight.

    Enjoy!

    Can You Use Regular Limes In A Key Lime Pie

    Yep! Key limes can be tricky to find in regular supermarkets if you dont live in Florida, California, Texas in the states, or in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Regular limes will work just fine. I found that about 4 to 5 limes make about ¾ cup lime juice. If you can find key limes, it will take around 20 limes because they are much smaller.

    Tip: Skip the prepackaged lime or key lime juice. Although tempting, bottled lime juice contains chemicals and additives that make it taste off.

    Infuse Extra Air Into Your Yogurt Mixture Before Churning

    I call this the Meringue Method, because I use an easy-to make meringue to aerate the base and help ensure a deliciously smooth finished product every time.

    The Meringue Method involves using a cooked meringue, also known as an Italian meringue, to incorporate extra air into the yogurt base before the churning phase. Meringue is a mixture of egg whites and sugar that is beaten until stiff and foamy. Most meringues are made with raw eggs and then incorporated into recipes that call for cooking the meringue before serving. The Italian meringue uses a different technique to produce meringue that is completely cooked and safe to eat without any additional cooking or baking it is an ideal addition to frozen yogurt. The meringue is very easy to prepare and makes a big difference in the creaminess of the finished yogurt.

    Low Carb Key Lime Pie

    Save for later!

    • Pin

    Its Victoria Day here in Canada a perfect excuse for a special dessert, so were celebrating with a Trim Healthy Mama-friendly, low-carb Key Lime Pie! Made from a base of Greek yogurt, its smooth and creamy, and high in protein.

    Sweetened with xylitol , this Key Lime Pie is also sugar-free. Its soft green color comes from blending a handful of fresh spinach leaves together with 2 tablespoons of water and pressing the mixture through a fine sieve! The small bit of dark green spinach juice gives the whole pie a lovely shade of lime when mixed with the other filling ingredients, except you dont taste spinach! No need for artificial colors in this one.

    Knox, Great Lakes, or Just Gelatin, either brand will set the Key Lime filling, but Great Lakes and Just Gelatin are purer forms of beef-based protein.

    If you dont have fresh limes on hand, pure bottled lime juice from Santa Cruz or Real Lime makes an easy substitute.

    Note: If you prefer a cottage cheese and cream cheese-based Key Lime Pie, I hear the recipe on pg. 326 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook is delicious, too!
