High-proteinMethod in ProVegetarian

Key lime pie gets its tang from lime juice and its silky set from sweetened condensed milk. Here the filling is mostly Greek yogurt and Neufchâtel whisked with a little condensed milk and a scoop of whey, spooned into jars over a buttery graham crust. A short chill firms it up.

Ingredients

For 5 jars.

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (3 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Lime filling

  • 1 1/2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz Neufchâtel cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/3 cup key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Method

  1. Stir the graham crumbs with the melted butter and press a spoonful into the bottom of 5 small jars, saving a little for the top.

  2. Beat the Neufchâtel until smooth, then whisk in the yogurt, condensed milk, whey, lime juice and zest until thick.

Tips

  • Bottled key lime juice works well; fresh Persian limes are slightly less tart.
  • Zest the limes before juicing them.
