LoLa, do you have a,special Key Lime Pie recipe that you would recommend? Thanks!

I don't know why you couldn't use that same recipe with limes!! I might have to try it this weekend! Thank you!!

You always have the best recipes to share. This looks wonderful and I can't wait to try it.

You may like our favorite pie, it has similar ingredients but no baking.

Refreshing Lemon Pie

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

2 to 3 drops yellow food coloring, optional

1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 graham cracker crust (9 inches) **my favorite no bake crust recipe is below.

Mint leaves and lemon peel strips, optional

In a bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, grated lemon peel and food coloring if desired; mix until smooth (mixture will begin to thicken). Fold in whipped topping; spoon into crust. Chill until ready to serve. If desired, garnish with mint leaves and lemon peel strips. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Grandmas No Fail No Bake Graham Cracker Pie Crust

1 1/2 - 2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs

1/3 Cup Sugar (granulated or powdered)

1/3 – 1/2 Cup Melted Butter (may need more or less depending)

Pinch or two of Salt

Spray pie pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment. Mix all ingredients, until it forms large crumbs and holds together when pressed against the side of the bowl. Pat into pie pan, refrigerate 15 minutes or until needed. This recipe makes a thick crust for a deep dish pie. You will not need all the mixture if using a regular sized pie or if you like thinner deep dish crust. Leftover crumbs can be stored in the refrigerator and used to top finished pie, ice cream, fruit, yogurt etc.

Thanks again for sharing and have a nice safe holiday weekend.

LoLa, thank you for sharing that recipe, it looks so yummy and refreshing. I love anything lemon or lime, especially in hot weather. I'm not a big sweets person, so I would take a slice of that over chocolate cake anytime. I also love Key Lime pie, and that recipe looks like it could be modified to use key limes instead of lemons. I'm going to add it to my recipe box to try.
