Lower Fat Key Lime Pie








Ingredients: 
3 egg yokes
1/2 cup lime juice
1 can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 pre-made graham cracker pie shell




 Step One:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix the first three ingredients together either by a stand mixer of by hand with a spoon or spatula. A stand mixer makes easy work, but it can be perfectly done without one. If using an stand mixer or even a hand mixer, start off slowly. Set the mixer to the stir setting. Only if needed, increase the speed for a few seconds and then reduce to stir for about 2 minutes. All ingredients should be well incorporated.  There should be no streaks of yoke for example.   The resulting custard should be pale yellow.



Step Two:
Pour the custard into the pie shell. Tap the filled pie shell on the counter a few times to remove any possible air bubbles.  Place the pie in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.  Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.  After the pie is room temperature, place it in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
