Mojito Pie (Lower Fat Than Regular Key Lime Pie) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Whipped Cream topping or use fat free whipped topping
    1 cup cold heavy cream
    2 tablespoons powdered sugar
    1/2 teaspoon rum extract or 1 tablespoon dark rum
    Crust
    5 ounces low-fat cinnamon graham crackers
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    Filling
    2 tablespoons mint leaves, finely minced
    3/4 cup key lime juice (fresh squeezed or bottled)
    4 egg yolks, lightly whisked
    14 ounces fat-free sweetened condensed milk
    Garnish
    mint leaf
    key lime
Preparation
    Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a food processor pulse crackers and butter till mixed and crumbled.
    Place in a greased pie shell, pressing to form a pie crust.
    Place mint leaves in lime juice and stir to release the mint oils.
    Place the eggs in a bowl, gently stir in milk and juice.
    Pour into pie shell. The filling won`t fill completely to the top of the crust. That rooms for the whipped cream.
    Bake for 35 minutes till set.
    Chill overnight.
    Put all whipped cream ingredients in a medium deep chilled bowl, beat until soft peaks form. Can be made up to four hours ahead and refrigerated. Spread on pie.
    Garnish with mint leave and lime.
