"This is from the current issue (Summer '06) of Krafts Food & Family Magazine. I plan on making this in the next few days and am sure others would love it too. Looking at it, I can see how the flavors could be easily changed by different jello flavors. It is printed with sugar free ingredients but I am posting with regular ones."

My sister made this for a picnic buffet and it was great. We had both lime and lemon pies. I can imagine any flavor or combination of flavors would be great. She had used the sugar-free of the jell-o and cool whip for a diabetic friend with great results. I can't wait to try different flavors. Nearly effortless with beautiful and delicious results.

I was just about to post this recipe myself. I am so glad that I checked first. The pie is pretty good and tangy. A good light tasty summer pie. I did have to freeze the pie because I was a little pressed for time. It tasted really good that way. I did cheat a little bit, I used a regular graham Cracker pie crust. The store did not have the reduced fat pie crust. Also every one really loved the pie.
