Instead of making this as a pie...I simply put the filling into a corning ware bowl and chilled. It had a lovely, light delicate flavor. A nice dessert after a heavy meal. The lime juice and zest was a nice addition. I will make this again. Would be great for summer get togethers...potlucks, etc. Made for Spring PAC 2010 http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Reviewed for PAC Fall 2008. This was a very light, refreshing pie which will be made often in the future. I have had similar pies in the past but I loved the extra "zing" from the addition of the lime juice and zest. Thank you, nursecindy, for this easy recipe.
