Easy Key Lime Pie

Mistreatedbycs — Sat, 28 Aug 2021 20:16:39 GMT

Just created this afternoon and it looks and tastes good.

1 pkg Keebler Pecan Shortbread Cookies

1/4 cup toasted pecans

5 Tablespoons melt butter

Process the cookies and pecans to crumbs, add melted butter and press in (9" pie plate. Bake 350 deg for about 10 -12 minutes. Remove and completely cool.

1 8 oz Philly Whipped Cream Cheese

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup granulated white sugar

1 can Lucky Key Lime Pie filling

1 8 oz cool white

In a medium bowl, beat with hand mixwer the cream cheese with the 2 sugars until the sugars are dissolved. Add one can of pie filling and continuing beating until combined. Fold in half of container of cool whip, do not over fold. Do not use mixer.

Spoon into cooled pie shell. Top with remaining cool whip. (I used a pastry bag and large tip and piped swirls around the diameter of the pie to hide where the crust and filling meet. Zest on top with either real key limes or a regular lime.

Refrigerate at least 4 hours.

This pie really turned out great and next I'm going to try with lemon pie filling.

This sounds wonderful - And - It's the first recipe for Key Lime Pie I've seen that doesn't require "condensed milk" (which I abhor, btw).

Gonna give it a try - Thanks for posting!

Love Key Lime Pie.

What I would like though, is a recipe for KEY LIME COOKIES. Anyone?

Attention, Maximillian: I have an answer for you!

Dear Maximillian, I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to respond to your post. Finally, today, I spoke to a CS agent who helped me break through the maze. (All I had to do was to enter my regular user name--for some reason, it worked.)

I have found a number of key lime cookies recipes on All-Recipes.

They sound delicious! I am going to try a couple out.

@RespectLife

That's a great crust....really tasty.

I was thinking with using it for a cheesecake, make some extra and reserve some for the topping???? That would be very good

Love toasted pecans

When I took a piece of pie out of the pie plate, I noticed some of the baked crust crumbled a little, the bottom was intact but the sides sorta of gave way, maybe add a tablespoon of butter??

My mom made a refrigerator cheesecake and I've made it a couple times too. It's no bake, made with baker's cheese (need to find it, its hard to find) whipping cream and a lot of bowls and time but it's so delicious. Hope you put this one on your list, you won't be disappointed.

Here's the recipe:

Makes: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¾ cup sugar (divided)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

6 tablespoons melted butter

1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple in sweetened juice, drained, juice reserved

3 pasteurized eggs, separated

2 tablespoons powdered gelatin mixed in ½ cup water

1 container (1 pound) dry cottage cheese or bakers cheese

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped until stiff

Preparation:
Prepare crust first: Combine cracker crumbs, ¼ cup of the sugar and, if using, the cinnamon.

Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to garnish cheesecake later. Add butter, mix well and gently press onto bottom and up sides of a well buttered 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For filling: Measure juice drained from canned pineapple. You will need ½ cup.

If you do not have enough, add water. In bowl, beat egg yolks until light and fluffy.

Combine juice and yolks in top of double boiler, then gradually beat in remaining ½ cup sugar.

Cook mixture over medium heat until thickened, stirring regularly, 25 to 30 minutes. Mixture should be like pudding.

Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Add soaked gelatin and stir until dissolved.

Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add cottage cheese, lemon juice, zest and salt.

In separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, then add whipped cream and the drained pineapple and add to larger mixture.

Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle top with reserved cracker crumbs. Chill at least 3 hours or until ready to serve.

Variation: If desired, yolks from regular eggs can be used in the cooked filling. Egg white powder or egg white product labeled “for whipping” can be used in place of the whites from pasteurized eggs.

Note: Baker’s cheese can be found throughout the year at some higher end or specialty food stories.

During the Christmas holidays it can be found at most major grocery stores.
