I’m waiting to see if the ingredients gel before I add the Key Lime Pie filling to the crust. The recipe above didn’t say how much boiling water to dissolve the gelatin in before adding yogurt and Cool Whip. I ‘assumed’ the water amount was 1 cup as the amount given on the box to dissolve the Jello, but it would dissolve in a muh smaller amount of water, I’m sure. I think you should clarify the water quanity as well as the Jello size (it comes in 3 and 6 oz. sizes) and the Cool Whip, which also comes in 8 and 16 0z. sizes. I used the 3 oz. Jello size and 8 oz. Cool Whip size. I hope I didn’t ‘assume’ incorrectly!!
Please reply with correct amounts.
Thank you for your comment!! You are absolutely correct in suggesting that I add the amount of water, Jello, and Cool Whip sizes!!! I have updated the recipe and I apologize for not doing this before!!! I hope even with the extra water that your pie turns out well!!! Have a great day and thanks again!
Regarding the key lime yogurt, I read the recipe as 2 1/2 containers of key lime yogurt – what size (ounces) containers?
Sugar Free Lime Gelatin comes in 0.3 oz size – is that what you use? I am really anxious to try this recipe. I use Granola ready made pie crusts from Bi-Lo for added nutritional benefits.
Thanks
Hi! Regarding the yogurt…look for the 6 ounce containers and for the jello, I just the 3oz. box. This recipe really tastes so good! Enjoy…also I am going to look for the granola ready made pie crusts as well to give them a try. Thanks!
