How to Make Nellie's Low Fat Key Lime Pie

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup Nellie & Joe's Key West lime juice (or other high-quality lime juice), and the zest of 2 limes until well combined.
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit for 2 minutes to soften, then whisk until completely dissolved.
  3. Gradually whisk the dissolved gelatin into the lime mixture until smooth.
  4. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken and set slightly.
  5. Pour the mixture into your prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to fully set.
  6. Garnish with whipped cream and lime wedges before serving.
