Ingredients
Pie Shell
- 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup White Chocolate chopped finely
- 4 tbsp Butter melted
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 tsp Shortening, Lard or Cooking Spray for coating pie pan
Pie Filling
- 1/2 cup Plain Yogurt, reduced-fat I used Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup Key Lime Juice
- 3/4 tsp Key Lime Zest save some for garnish
- 3 lg Egg Yolks
- 1 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk - fat-free or regular
Instructions
Pie Shell
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Grease pie pan and place chocolate in freezer.
- Mix together crumbs, sugar, salt and chocolate in a bowl. Drizzle butter and oil and mix well until all the oil is absorbed evenly. Press the crumbs into the pie plate firmly with the outside of a measuring cup until the shell is uniform.
- Bake at 350° F for about 12 minutes, or until the edge of the shell starts to brown. Cool the shell completely (I put it in the fridge while I make the filling).
- Pie Filling
- Place yogurt, juice, zest, yolks and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. Mix for two minutes with mixer set to medium speed. (I use a hand mixer for this). Pour filling into cooled crust and bake at 350° F until the filling is set - about 15 minutes.
- Cool pie on a wire rack and garnish with any leftover zest. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours.
