We can almost hear the ocean waves crashing against the shore. This tropical pie recipe is the budget-friendly way to head out on a quick vacation. We've even made a few adjustments so this Key Lime Pie recipe is much lighter than regular versions so you can help yourself to a second slice (or a third or a fourth).

What You'll Need

1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup egg substitute
2 teaspoons grated Key Lime rind (about 2 limes; see note)
1/2 cup Key lime juice (see note)
1 (6-ounce) reduced-fat ready-made graham cracker crust
1 (8-ounce) container fat-free whipping topping, thawed

What to Do

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Process first 4 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour mixture into pie crust.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Let pie cool completely; top with whipped topping. Garnish, if desired, with lime wedges or lime rind curls.

Notes

A Key lime is smaller and has a thinner skin than the Persian limes that are most often seen in the supermarkets. The Key lime also has a more tart flavor. Bottled juice is available in most stores if you can't find real Key limes. And feel free to substitute Persian limes if Key limes are not available.
