1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups vanilla soymilk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon finely grated Key lime peel or lime peel
1/4 cup Key lime juice or lime juice

Directions

1

Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly against bottom and side of 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until light brown; cool.

Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, stir soymilk, sugar, cornstarch, Key lime peel and Key lime juice with wire whisk until cornstarch is dissolved. Heat over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly and thickened; remove from heat.

Refrigerate about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cool. Gently stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping; stir in food color. Pour into crust.
