Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 °. Mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and butter with hands; press firmly into a 10-inch pie plate. Bake at 325 ° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and let stand 15 minutes.

  2. Whisk together condensed milk, lime juice, and eggs until well blended. Pour into crust, and bake at 325 ° for 18 to 20 minutes or until set. Chill at least 4 hours.

  3. Combine crème fraîche and powdered sugar. Spread evenly over pie, and garnish, if desired.

  4. Macadamia Key Lime Pie: Substitute 1/4 cup chopped dry roasted macadamia nuts for 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, and add to 1 cup crumbs. Proceed as directed. Sprinkle additional 1/4 cup chopped dry roasted macadamia nuts evenly over topping.

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Key Lime Pie that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
