Skinny Key Lime Pie with Coconut Whipped Cream – lightened up with Truvia and perfect for summer!
Well, here we are. Father’s Day weekend! Are you ready??
I’m happy to report that I’m all set. With a present, a plan, and a semi-clean house…..which always makes a difference in my enjoyment of the weekend. I’m feeling pretty proud of myself.
Not to mention the fact that I know exactly what I’ll be making for dessert….! I went back and forth on the perfect Father’s Day treat. To be honest, Jorden is not the biggest sweets guy. But key lime pie? That’s a different story.
Because, to us, key lime pie is more than just a dessert. It’s what we ate on our honeymoon. And when I say ate, I mean ATE. We ate so much key lime pie, we were almost sick of it by the time we left Florida. Almost. And ever since then, it has felt like such a special treat! One that brings us back to a different time in our lives.
So I guess it’s kinda funny that I plan to make it for Jorden for Father’s Day….seeing as how all the memories surrounding it are pre-fatherhood! But that’s okay, because we all know that even on Father’s Day, there will be at least a moment or two when all he wants is to be transported back to that time before kids. And this pie will do that.
Another thing this pie will do? Make you feel totally fine about eating it! Because it’s lightened up from top to bottom with Truvia Baking Blend! From the graham cracker crust to the pie, itself, to the coconut whipped cream on top…..it’s all made with Truvia! Which means it has 75 percent less sugar than it otherwise would. And ALL the delicious flavor.
I hope you have a fabulous Father’s Day weekend…..filled with pie!

I think you mean to say, “stir in lime juice” not ‘lemon juice’, right?
In either case, thanks for the excellent recipe that I can actually have, without too much guilt, on my diet.
Cathy Trochelman says
Yes, I meant lime juice. Thanks for calling that to my attention!
