Weight Watchers Key Lime Pie...with a LOT of Twists...

So, I don't like key lime, but I loved the idea behind this recipe.  How can one go wrong with Jell-O, Cool Whip, and yogurt?!?  (Here is the pin.)

The original recipe calls for:

• 1 reduced fat graham cracker crust
• 1 (1/16 ounce) package sugar-free lime gelatin
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• 1 (8 ounce) container fat-free whipped topping
• 2 (6 ounce) key lime pie yogurt 

I skipped the crust so I could use my cute little glasses again.  (Any excuse is a good one.)  Sure I could have put the crumbs in the bottom, and may next time, but I was too impatient.  Also, instead of using the lime flavor, I used raspberry.  I'm also pretty sure they used regular yogurt, which I just don't buy anymore.  I like the Greek kind so much better!  I made the filling exactly as directed, and spooned it into the glasses.  After a couple of hours in the refrigerator, they were good to go.  They were even better the next night.

Here they are in the cute glasses.

 As you can see, it is quite fluffy and thick.  (It's so fluffy!!!)

I didn't have a full container of Cool Whip, so it didn't make quite as much as it should have, but according to my calculations, a full recipe would be 420 calories.  Six servings would only be 70 calories a piece.  Not too shabby!

Now, I'll admit that this recipe doesn't taste all that different from the Jell-O and Cool Whip we all grew up with, but it definitely has a different feel.

Next time I will use strawberry and put real strawberries in it.  That along with the graham cracker crumbs at the bottom will give it texture.  **UPDATE** I tried the strawberry version.  I didn't like it as well.  I don't know what it was.  Something about the fresh strawberries made me want more strawberries and less everything else.  I'll stick to the plain version going forward.  I bought the stuff to make black cherry next.

In summary:  Try it!!!

Note to self:  Self, try the grout cleaner pin next.
