- 14 ounces milk, low fat, sweetened, condensed or nonfat
- 23 cup yogurt, low-fat plain
- 2 teaspoons lime zest freshly grated, prefer key lime
- 1/2 cup key lime juice if you can't find key lime, regular lime works well
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin, unflavored
- 2 tablespoons egg whites, powdered reconstituted according to package directions
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
-
1For the crust:
-
2Preheat oven to 350F.
-
3Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
-
4Place egg white, graham cracker crumbs, butter and oil in a medium bowl.
-
5Blend with your fingertips until thoroughly combined.
-
6Press the mixture in an even layer on the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
-
7Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
-
8Cool on a wire rack.
-
9For the filling:
-
10Whisk condensed milk, yogurt, lime zest and juice in a medium bowl.
-
11Stir water and gelatin in a small heatproof cup or bowl.
-
12Microwave, uncovered, on High until the gelatin has completely dissolved but the liquid is not boiling, 20 to 30 seconds.
-
13(Alternatively, bring 1/2 inch water to a gentle simmer in a small skillet.
-
14Set the bowl with the gelatin mixture in the simmering water until the gelatin has dissolved completely.)
-
15Stir the gelatin mixture, then whisk into the lime mixture.
-
16Set that bowl over a larger bowl of ice water, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
17Scrape the filling into the pie shell and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
-
18For the meringue and pie:
-
19Position oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler; preheat broiler.
-
20Beat reconstituted egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium until soft peaks form.
-
21Gradually add sugar and continue mixing until the egg whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks.
-
22Blend in vanilla.
-
23Spread the meringue over the top of the pie, sealing to the edge of the crust and decoratively swirling on top.
-
24Broil (leaving the oven door ajar and watching very carefully to prevent burning) until the meringue is lightly browned on top, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
-
25Serve garnished with lime slices.
