Key Lime Pie

A dessert that can help with gut health? We’re in! Many Greek yogurts contain probiotics like S. Thermophilus or L. Acidophilus, which are beneficial bacteria that multiply in the gut. These probiotics can help prevent bacterial infections and maintain gut health, and the Greek yogurt makes the recipe taste extra creamy too. This recipe is part of our March meal plan.

Ingredients - Graham Crust:

1¼ cups graham crackers, broken

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tbsp granulated sugar

Pinch of salt

Ingredients - Filling:

1/3 cup cold water

1 7 g envelope unflavoured gelatin

Zest and juice of 2 limes

1 300 mL can low-fat sweetened condensed milk

1½ cups plain Greek yogurt

Directions:

Graham Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Combine graham crackers, butter, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch pie pan and press into bottom and sides.
  4. Bake for 8 minutes.

Filling

  1. Meanwhile, combine cold water and gelatin in a small saucepan and let sit for 2 minutes.
  2. Once gelatin is softened, heat mixture over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine lime zest, lime juice, yogurt and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk to combine. Whisk in gelatin mixture.
  4. Gently pour the lime mixture into pie pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. Serve with whipped cream and lime slices. Enjoy!
