These pies were just light their name: Light and easy. I found the recipe from Kraft foods, and adapted it to work with what I had on hand. They were very light and refreshing. Perfect for a spring or summer dessert.

Made this tonight for St. Patrick's Day dinner with lime jello. Perfect! I know you gals would have an answer to my need for a green dessert that wasn't pistachio. I also learned (by not reading the recipe ahead of time), that you can stick it in the freezer for 2-3 hours to rush that last setting up. :-)
