RE: Key Lime Pie

I have a simple recipe for key lime pie that doesn't have to be baked. Just thaw one can of limeade juice, mix in one can condensed milk, and one container of whipped topping. Mix well and pour into graham cracker pie crust. Chill until set. Enjoy! Although it is not key lime, it has basically the same test and is refreshing! You can also use lemon juice or orange.

RE: Key Lime Pie

Here is one I found on the web awhile ago. It takes only 15 minutes to prepare and makes two pies that you freeze and then just take out of the fridge shortly before you want to eat it. It's great because I can have one now and one for later (freeze up to a month for best taste) in a short time.

(3) 14 oz. cans sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup key lime juice
16 oz. whipped cream topping
(2) 9" ready-made graham cracker pie crusts

-Combine milk and lime juice in a large bowl.
-Carefully fold in whipped topping.
-Pour mixture into pie crusts.
-Freeze pies until ready to eat. (11/10/2006)
