That's changing the recipe too much. There's no way that could taste
like a key lime pie unless you have very poor taste buds. I have made
a sugar free key lime pie though. All I do is cook the filling on the
stove but leave out the sugar. I let the filling cool a little and
then I add in an artificial sweetner such as Equal. If all you have is
the little packets then be prepared to add in the contents of at least
35 of them.
