Frozen Key Lime Pie
Frozen Key Lime Box Pie - only 4 ingredients! A store-bought graham cracker crust filled with a no churn key lime ice cream made with key limes, heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Only takes a minute to make and it tastes amazing! Fantastic key lime flavor! I made this for a party and it was gone in a flash! Everyone asked for the recipe!!
One of Chicken Legs' favorite desserts is Key Lime Pie. I found some key limes at the grocery store the other day and decided to make him his favorite dessert - with a twist. I made a Frozen Key Lime Pie! OMG! It was SOOOOO good!!
There are only 4 ingredients for the pie and it is ready to go in the freezer in about 5 minutes. SO easy! The hardest part about this recipe is waiting on it to set up in the freezer!
I used fresh key limes. If you can find key limes, you can use a bottle of key lime juice or regular limes/lime juice. Either will be fine. I also used a store bought graham cracker crust. It works great in this recipe. If you don't like the store bought crusts, you can definitely make your own crust. I just took the easy way out on this recipe. 😊
The pie turned out fantastic! Don't worry about cutting the pie - it comes right out of the pan after it is frozen. Perfect slices every time. I like to run my knife under hot water before slicing - it makes it a little easier to cut when it is frozen. All you need is a little dollop of whipped cream and dessert is served! This is the best way to cool off in this brutal summer heat!
