Kids didn't care for it. Could have been the green color and that they were expecting something more traditional.

This was delicious. The only thing that I did different was to crush up walnuts for the crust instead of pecans. It was awesome

If your looking for something to put you in the "mind" of key lime pie..this is a great base recipe...Instead of making a crust i used a store bought pre made graham cracker crust, vanilla extract instead of coconut, a tub of light whip cream instead of heavy cream, 1 (.3 oz) sugar free lime jello, a heaping of splenda (to taste) and the zest and juice of 2 limes. and kept everything else the same.YUMMO!!! ..while its not the real thing its a lighter summer substitute..and did the trick for us!

Pretty good.. Try it if you haven't. I made it exactly how the recipe called for it and we ( myself and two boys 4 and 6 ) enjoyed it. They didnt realize it was sugar free. Great low carb dessert!

I loved it and I really didn't think it was too sweet as some reviewers mentioned. Next time I think I will up the heavy cream from 1/2 to 1 cup. I would prefer the creaminess overpower the jello-ness. I think I might even experiment with different flavored sugar free gelatins....orange first as I like the orange and cream idea. Also, I substituted vanilla for the coconut extract.

thought this was great, but needed a little modification for me. needs a little key lime juice and maybe 1/2 another pack of lime jello. had just a little too much cream cheese taste. more lime will fix that. loved it!

I'm sad to say that this wasn't very good. I was hoping for more.

I loved the crust, however I wasn't too happy with the filling, I didn't have coconut flavoring but used vanilla. I ended up tossing it out.

Crust: I made it with 2 cups of ground up almonds instead of pecans. I skipped the coconut extract (just not my thing) and substituted Fresca soda for the cold water for some more citrus flavor. Also added some lime juice. The consistency was great, and everyone loved it.

I was very happy to find a Low Carb version for pie! I am not a lover of Key Lime Pie, but I could not resist, since I have not been able to have a piece of pie since I started my Low Carb Diet to reduce my blood sugar, as I am Diabetic. This was amazing! I love the Pecan Crust, that was my favorite part, and I will be using it to make other kinds of pie. I am trying to figure out a way to make a Coconut Cream Pie! I think I beat the cream too long, because my pie came out a bit 'tough' but it was still delicious! The Coconut was a definate show stopper! Yummy! It is very rich, so I was only able to have 2 pieces (I saved up my carbs all day so I could really go crazy, but it was too rich, and that is not a bad thing). I thought that crust and the pie could have had more Splenda added to them, as they were not sweet enough for me, but I like things sweet. All in all this was an excellent experiment, and I am going to have fun making as many different things as I can from this! For Low Carbers out there like me, it is a definate winner!
