Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 - 2/3 c lime juice or key lime juice, to taste (bottled or fresh)
1 12 oz. tub of cool whip, thawed
1 tsp vanilla
a few drops of green food color, if desired.
1 9 inch graham cracker crust
1 fresh lime for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Combine sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, Cool Whip, and vanilla on low speed until well blended. Add a few drops of green food color, if you desire, and mix in well.
  • 2. Pour into a 9 inch graham cracker crust. Garnish with fresh grated lime peel. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • 3. VARIATION: For a change of pace, fold in a cup of fresh strawberries, coarsley chopped, to the mixture before pouring into the crust. Either way, it is great!

Tips

  • For a smoother pie filling, strain the lime juice before using.
  • If you don't have a graham cracker crust, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers and mixing them with melted butter.
  • To prevent the pie from cracking, let it cool completely before serving.
  • To make a whipped cream topping, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. You can also add sugar, vanilla extract, or other flavorings to taste.
  • For a more intense lime flavor, use key limes instead of regular limes.
  • If you don't have time to make the pie crust from scratch, you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust or even a pre-made pie crust.
  • To make the pie filling, you can use either fresh lime juice or bottled lime juice. If you use bottled lime juice, be sure to use 100% lime juice, not lime-flavored juice.
