@Chi-town girl   Thanks for posting this recipe.

I think this will be a great treat for the summer.  No cranking on the oven, no over the top ingredients and not labor intensive.  What's not to like?

@Pezzie - you're welcome! Some clever bakers have given me delicious options.

I would LOVE to make several of these ball recipes on Sunday, but I won't have enough time. Let's see what our recipe friends vote.

@Skyegirl21 - hmmm, I agree, not typical for Key Lime Pie. I bet it can be left out.
