Yes, a 4 ounce box of jello would be a lot of jello. Boxes of sugar free lime gelatin are 0.3 or 0.4 ounces depending on the brand. Regular gelatin (with sugar) weighs 3 ounces.  This recipe does make a delicious light and fluffy pie.  But I add 3 Tbs. of key lime juice which enhances the flavor greatly.  You might be able to find a bottle of Key Lime Juice in the store - just be sure to look for the words "Key Lime."  I like to buy the actual Key Limes at the grocery.  Roll each one on the counter to make it more juicy, wash, cut in half and remove seeds.  I use an old fashioned hand juicer but you could probably use an automatic one.  It takes awhile to squeez e the juice out of all the fruits but it's worth it.  I put 3 Tbs. of juice into the little rectangles in an ice cube tray and freeze it.  Once frozen, you can place the whole tray into a plastic bag or dump out the juice cubes into a bag. Now you are ready to make several delicious desserts - just thaw one juice cube per recipe.  Happy eating!
