Citrus is the perfect summertime taste…it’s so light and refreshing. Combine it with cool whip, sweetened condensed milk and a thin graham cracker crust, and it’s heaven in a bite. These Key Lime Pie treasures are just that. Straight out of the fridge or freezer, they are meant to please the parched palate-to satisfy the cool craving on a crazy hot day.
Instead of making them in the typical pie pan, I put them in an 8×8 glass square baking dish, then cut into mini bites for added cuteness.
With just a few ingredients, they come together in minutes!
{KEY LIME PIE BITES}
1 (10 inch) prepared graham cracker pie crust (or an 8×8 glass baking dish and homemade crust listed below)
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. key lime (or regular lime) juice
1 (8 oz.) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
2-3 drops green food coloring, optional
Graham Cracker Crust:
1 c. graham crackers, crushed
3 T. butter, melted
Combine cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press crust into bottom of pan, and up sides if using a pie plate. In a large bowl, stir condensed milk and lime juice. Stir in a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Fold in whipped topping and stir until smooth. Pour mixture over graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. You can also freeze it for an hour or so to achieve a more solid texture.
It’s such a dreamy dessert!Enjoy!
