The warm sunny California weather has put me in the mood for a cool summertime dessert. This week we have a tasty tart, yet sweet dessert that is perfect for a warm day! What is even better is that it is not bad for you. While this isn't a Weight Watchers recipe, I have calculated the points and it is only 3 points per serving - how awesome is that! A tasty treat that is low calorie.
Mango-Lime Icebox Pie
1 - 9 inch Piecrust (You can definitely use the pre-made piecrusts at the grocery)
Filling:
1 cup mango nectar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 large eggs
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 1/2 T. butter
2 t. grade lime rind
Prepare and bake piecrust. Cool the crust completely on a wire rack. To prepare filling, combine the nectar and next 5 ingredients in a large saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in butter and lime rind. Spoon mango mixture into a bowl. Place bowl in a large ice filled bowl for 10 minutes or until mixture is room temperature, stirring occasionally. Remove from ice bowl and spoon mango mixture into prepared crust. Cover and chill for 8 hours or until firm. Top with whipped topping (for the above mentioned weight watchers points, use fat free whipped topping). Enjoy!!!!!!!
This is also great in a graham cracker crust or the new prepared shortbread crust.

Nice. I'm glad you guys are back

What's on the Menu These Days?!
You should have a "Create A Recipe" game.
Pick a category like "Casserole" and everyone logs in a adds an ingredient and see what you get.
Or put out a 'basic' recipe everyone can suggest enhancements...
Just to stir things up a bit!
