I'd certainly like to know that myself. My DH's favorite pie in the
whole world is key lime and he's diabetic. No sweetened condensed milk.
I have tried several recipes to make it with artificial sweetener and
all were failures. I do have a key lime pie recipe that uses unflavored
gelatin and that's not bad, but not quite the same as the canned milk
recipe. I would love, love, love to have a recipe for sweetened
condensed milk made from fresh ingredients so I could sub the sugar.
