I was looking for a key lime pie recipe without condensed milk, and this turned out wonderfully! I made a graham cracker crust to go with it.

yummy scrummy! Very easy, even with my threee-year-old's help! She did the stirring and the pouring....I used low-fat cream cheese and it took 30 mins in a fan-assissted oven at 150 degrees. I gave a slice to all of my hairdressing clients that day and it went down very well indeed.
