Provided by EricandMonica Hagen

Time 13h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 teaspoon shortening
½ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Key lime zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup finely shredded coconut
1 (14 ounce) can nonfat sweetened condensed milk
1 (8 ounce) container nonfat sour cream
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice, or more to taste
2 medium Key limes, juiced
3 tablespoons coconut cream, or more to taste
½ (11 ounce) package white chocolate chips
10 drops green food coloring
8 ounces fat-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 ½ ounces white chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 1/2-inch glass pie pan with shortening.
  • Beat sugar and butter for crust in a bowl on medium speed until smooth. Beat in flour, lime zest, and vanilla extract on low speed just until crumbly. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • While the crust is cooling, grind shredded coconut in a food processor into a coarse powder.
  • Spread coconut powder thinly over the cooled crust.
  • Prepare filling: Whip condensed milk, sour cream, lime and Key lime juices, and coconut cream in a medium bowl on low to medium speed until smooth. Add more lime juice or coconut cream to taste; it should be quite sour but not bitter.
  • Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments just until soft. Mash with a spoon, then quickly add to the filling mixture and whip immediately on high speed to evenly distribute. Whip in food coloring on low speed, then gently fold in whipped topping.
  • Pour filling into the pie pan. Cover and refrigerate until filling is fully set, at least 12 hours.
  • Remove from the refrigerator. Shave white chocolate with a vegetable peeler over the pie to decorate. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.

LIME MOUSSE CAKE



Lime Mousse Cake image

I got this recipe from Epicurious and it quickly became a favorite. Much easier to make than it looks, it's lighter (and easier) than a cheesecake, and everyone seems to love it. The best part is you can make it ahead of time and forget about it until it's time to serve. It's a great ending for a Mexican or summer menu.
