Elana,
I used to make the Barefoot Contessa key lime pie all the time. I have noticed that you have adapted some of her recipes. Have you thought about a gluten/dairy free key lime pie? The gluten and dairy free members of our household would love it. I wouldn't know where to start, but if you don't have time, can you provide suggestions for experimenting with one of your other recipes?
Thank you! Kim
Kim,
I had a desire to make key lime pie as well. What I did was followed Elana's recipe for Lemon bars (substituted key lime for the lemon juice) which is found in her cookbook along with the marshmallow frosting for the"meringue". It came out wonderful. Hope this will help.

Here's an sweetened condensed milk substitute from gluten-free goddess. I've been meaning to try it but haven't gotten around to it yet. I think it could be even better than the real thing:
Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk:
3 cups coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)
1/2 cup organic sugar- or sweeten to taste with agave
Stir ingredients together in a sauce pan and heat gently; cook slowly over low to almost medium heat, stirring constantly, until the volume is reduced to about 1 cup.
Add some vanilla extract to taste, if you like; and a pinch of sea salt, if desired.
Cool the condensed milk and refrigerate if not using right away.
Here is my healthy, uncooked version of frog pie.
1 avocado, pitted, scooped from peel
1 can Trader Joe's coconut milk
up to 1/2 cup honey or agave
up to 1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp fresh lemon or lime zest
Blend in Vita Mix or blender. Chill and serve as pudding or pour into pie crust of your choice.
