This pie is tangy, light and refreshing. It has the consistency of whipped yogurt, if you have tried it. I tried to cut down on the sugar by altering the original recipe that I found somewhere online. It would be good with other flavors of Jello! I used sugar free and cut the sugar back as well. I would love to experiment even further with using Splenda or Diet Sprite or 7-Up to serve as a sweetener instead of sugar and/or water. Use Sugar Free Cool Whip and crust and you cut the sugar even further. Having one pie crust, I poured extra filling into little parfait dishes!
