❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This pie’s ingredients are no-bake, but adding the delicious homemade crust takes it to the next level. It’s really good and super refreshing. You can easily make this pie a day in advance, too, which is always handy. If you like it extra lime, then add a little more juice!
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Graham Crackers
- Quick Cooking Oats
- Walnuts or pecans
- Brown Sugar
- Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Condensed Milk
- Key lime juice or regular lime juice
- Lime zest
- Cool Whip
SWAPS
If you use three packages of cream cheese, you could make this in a deep-dish crust. You can also use a bought graham cracker crust instead of making your own. If you use a regular 9-inch crust like we did, your filling will be tall like the filling in our pie because we used a regular crust, and the recipe makes a lot of filling.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This pie is super easy to make, and while you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time, I fully believe the homemade crust is what makes this one even better!
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Combine all crust ingredients. Press into 9 inch regular pie shell. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Let cool before adding pie filling.
Step 2
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth with a mixer. Add condensed milk, lime juice and lime zest and continue mixing until combined. Fold in thawed cool whip. Pour into cooled crust and chill 4 to 5 hours or overnight until set. Can garnish with lime slices and lime zest.
⭐TIP
I haven’t tried it, but I do think this would work with just 2 packages of cream cheese. You may have to adjust the lime juice if you do. You can always add more or take some away depending on your desired lime flavor.
