Yep - and it's in the very first post of the index I put up.

Key Lime Pie (go to post 10 item #91 for the series of Key Lime posts) Link to Low Carb version of the recipe

Thanks for posting this. I missed it before. It's a most different recipe than the others. Sounds like you either make it right or it comes out running like the agents are doing after reading my book.

Another Key Lime Pie Recipe

Now, a caveat... I'm using a recipe card my daughter copied when she was in middle school. I don't think she left anything out; just a warning. <g>

This is a really tasty pie, just make sure it's good and chilled or it's a mess to cut. Hope you like it!

1/2 Cup Lime Juice
1 Can Sweeten Condensed Milk
1/3 Cup Chopped Walnuts
1/3 Cup Shredded Coconut
1 (15 to 20 ounce) Can Crushed Pineapple, drained
1 8oz. Container Cool Whip (thawed)
I Grahmn Cracker Crust

Stir together first two ingredients, then add nuts, cocunt and pineapple; fold in Cool Whip and pour into pie crust. Chill well before serving. (I seem to remember adding a drop or two of green food coloring if you want a green pie; otherwise it's yellow from the pineapple.)

Elaine,
thinking I need to make one!

The "Learn Writing With Uncle Jim" thread - delicious as well as educational!

Thanks Elaine. This recipe sounds very different and very good. I love pineapple so this should be great!

Alert!

I amended the directions on the pie~ not sure if it really makes a difference, but when I checked the recipe again it said to stir the liquid ingredients together before adding the rest.

There's no gelatin to set, so I imagine fresh pineapple would be fine? We couldn't get canned pineapple here to save our lives.

I would think fresh pineapple would be fine. I haven't made this pie in "years" but you're right, with no gelatin, it's a very soft pie. Gotta keep it refrigerated.

I have a crazy pecan pie recipe that has no crust, and is super easy, light and crunchy. I'll post it later.
