KEY LIME MOUSSE

www.eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com

1 recipe Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk (recipe follows)

1/2 cup lime juice (Key lime, if you can find it)

Grated zest of two limes

3 cups Splenda-sweetened whipped cream (1 1/2 cups unwhipped) OR one 8-ounce container Cool Whip, thawed

Graham cracker or sugar-free cookie crumbs for garnish (OR put it in a ready-made or homemade graham crust)

.

SF Sweetened Condensed Milk

4 tablespoons softened butter

3/4 cup Splenda

1 cup powdered milk (dry)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

.

For sweetened condensed milk: Blend 1/3 cup boiling water, softened butter, powdered milk, and vanilla together with a hand mixer until thick and smooth. (I use it right away as this gets VERY thick when cold. If you do chill it, microwave for a couple seconds to lukewarm and stir. May need to thin by adding a couple tablespoons of milk.)

For mousse: Whip together sugar free sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest. Fold in the whipped topping or whipped cream. Spoon into individual dessert dishes (or into a prepared crust.) Garnish with graham cracker crumbs. Makes six servings.
