Luscious Lime Pie

This sounded so good to me for Mother's Day! It is a simple recipe, and my girls made it for me. Honestly, I thought it was already posted, as it is such a family favorite, but when I came to look it up, NO! This was a favorite of my late father-in-law, he loved Marie Callendar's key lime, but this was good enough for happiness. I think the recipe came from a Pampered Chef season's best years ago.

Luscious Lime Pie
1 prepared graham cracker crust
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 c. lime juice
1 Tbsp. lime zest
1 (8 oz.) container whipped topping, divided

In a bowl, with an electric blender or whisk, combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in lime juice and zest. Fold in 2 c. whipped topping. Pour into pie crust and chill 30 min. Garnish with remaining whipped topping.

Note: you can add a drop or two of green food coloring to the filling, if you like.

Highroad Seeker said...: This is an AMAZING pie! I used to sell PC and it was a favorite, and so easy! The original recipe had a crust made from crushed Nilla Wafers and butter, which is sooo delicious! Crush 45 Nilla Wafers and combine with 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine, press into 10" springform pan, bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool, then proceed with the recipe as stated here. Just found my original recipe card for this pie and I'm going to make it soon! Thanks for posting this here!; April 12, 2019 at 12:21 PM
