(1 9-inch pie, 8 servings)
Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of Sweet One® sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold margarine
3-4 tablespoons cold orange juice
Preheat oven to 425F. In medium-size bowl, stir together flour, Sweet One® sugar substitute and salt. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor fashion, cut in margarine until mixture resembles course crumbs. With fork, stir in orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture just holds together. Shape dough into a ball. On lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll out dough to a 10-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold overhang under; make fluted edge. With fork, prick crust all over. Fit a piece of aluminum foil over crust, covering edges; fill crust with uncooked rice or dry beans and bake 10 minutes. Remove foil with beans or rice and continue baking 5 to 10 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire rack.
Filling
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon of Sweet One® sugar substitute, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup water
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1-1/4 cups skim milk, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
