Creamy Lime Pie
This is my no-bake answer to traditional Key lime pie. It is quite rich with a more delicate lime flavor.

Cook's Notes:
You can use either a graham cracker crust or a pastry shell, depending on preference.
The filling will also fit in an 8-inch pie shell.
Be certain the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding to cheese and be sure lime juice is fully incorporated before adding the whipped cream
If you want a more delicate cheese flavor, try mascarpone.
Can easily be made the day before. Cover more securely after 4 hours; but do not allow anything to touch the surface of the pie.
For a more authentic key lime color, reduce the green and add some yellow food coloring.
