Light Labor Day Key Lime Pie

Happy Labor Day!  If you are looking for a light, refreshing, and delicious dessert to serve your holiday guests, (or just yourself) this one is guaranteed to please :-)

I know not everyone may be big fans of key lime pie.  (More for the rest of us, I say ;-)  But this one is not only easy to make, but I would even venture to call it a 'healthy' dessert!

The recipe I followed comes from Cooking Light magazine.  I love their fresh spin on this classic dessert, and their ability to turn almost any comfort food into a health food without compromising on taste.

Here is a direct link to where you can find the recipe to make this perfect end-of-summer dessert for your family and friends:  http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/key-lime-pie-50400000128808/

The only think I did differently is that I used fat free greek yogurt instead of the 2% the recipe called for... which essentially only made this pie a bit healthier and lighter.  It turned out perfectly!  I used my new Williams Sonoma silicon crust guard so that the outer edges wouldn't burn.  Love it!

Ready for the oven!

Voila!!!

Top this baby with whipped cream or eat is as is... it is terrifically tart, creamy, and refreshing on a hot Summer day!  

My mom has already requested that I make this the next time I go back home for a visit... and I definitely think it will earn her stamp of approval :-)


Happy Labor Day!
