4. Try this no-bake key lime pie

Tea: either is ok, get some sucralose (splenda) for her to sweeten it. I'm from the south so all tea is iced and sweet, 'cept sometimes in winter.

Caveat for the pie: I haven't actually made this but I have made similar pies for my folks (diabetes). Its simple to make.

Note there's no crust so you'll need a pie plateYou could buy a crust but I bet nobody makes a sugar free one. Everybody needs to have a pie plate anyway.

And a bit of advice: get enough ingredients to make two pies. Make one, like a practice run- if its ok then fine, if not or you want to go for better then freeze (or eat) the first one with your guy and make the second one now that you have practice.

Good Luck BtAegis!

No-Bake Key Lime Pie
What You'll Need:
1 (4-serving) package sugar-free lime gelatin
1/2 cup boiling water
1 (8-ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
2 cups frozen light whipped topping, thawed
What To Do:
1. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water, stirring until dissolved.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add liquid gelatin until well combined.
4. Stir in lime juice and lime peel. Fold in whipped topping until well incorporated. Pour into pie plate, cover, and chill 3 hours or until set.

As with any creamy dessert, cover and store this in the refrigerator until serving time. Don't let it stand at room temperature before or after serving.
