Poster's Notes:
The magazine Vegetarian Times did dessert makeovers a couple of years ago, and this recipe was one of them. This one is also pareve, and added bonus for this list! I've never made this, but it sure sounds yummy. I always have great success with VT recipes.

Nutritional Info Per Serving: 186calories; 5g protein; 3g total fat (1saturated fat); 36g carbohydrates; 0mg cholesterol; 158mg sodium; 1g fiber
24 graham cracker squares
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. 1% fat vanilla soy milk
1-1/4 cups 1% fat vanilla soy milk
3/4 cup nonfat egg substitute
2 oz. low-fat silken tofu
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup lime juice, preferably from Key limes
1 tbsp. grated lime peel
1 tbsp. tapioca flour or cornstarch
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
In food processor, process graham crackers into fine crumbs (you should have about 2 cups). Add sugar and soy milk and process until mixture is texture of sand, about 30 seconds.
In food processor or blender, combine filling ingredients and process until smooth. If mixture is lumpy, press it through sieve. Pour filling into crust.
Fill large saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. In metal bowl that will sit securely on top of saucepan, combine egg whites, sugar and pinch of salt. Place bowl over hot water. Stir constantly until egg whites are warm to the touch.
The smaller, yellower Key lime has a flavor that's less harsh yet more intense than the common Persian lime. Also, I suppose for the meringue layer, you could just cover the whole pie, rather than do a lattice pattern, which seems like way too much work.
