Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup grahm cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 3/4 cup Xagave
  • 7 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 2 tbsp butter cut into pieces
  • 1 drop green food coloring

Steps:

In a 9 inch pie pan, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter.  Use a fork and level well, then press firmly into bottom and sides of pan. (Can use commercial graham cracker crust)

In the top half of a double boiler pan, not yet on a pan of water, put in Xagave.  Gradually add cornstarch and mix thoroughly so there are no lumps.  Place egg yolks in a bowl.  Whisk until mixed well.  Slowly pour half of water into egg yolks while whisking together.  Pour in remaining water.  Add egg mixture in Xagave mixture, mixing thoroughly.  Add lime juice and mix well.

Place on bottom half of double boiler with water in it.  Turn heat on high and cook, stirring continually until mixture is thick and clear (not cloudy).  It takes about 10 to 12 minutes once water is boiling.  It is important to stir often (almost constantly once water is boiling) or the cornstarch will make large lumps.  Cut butter into pieces and add to filling.  Add food coloring and stir until well blended. Pour into graham cracker crust. Chill.
