Key Lime Pie

When a neighbor sent an email asking for my key lime pie recipe, I couldn't believe that I didn't have the recipe on the blog. So, here it is!


Key Lime Pie


Graham cracker crust:

Mix 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 3 T. sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter. Press evenly into a pie tin with a spoon.

Filling:
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
3 T. Key lime juice, Nellie and Joe’s (or more to taste)
2 – 3 cups Cool Whip


          Beat cream cheese; add sweetened condensed milk and Key lime juice. Fold in the Cool Whip. Place in graham crust. Chill well. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a quarter slice of lime.

I used to have Aunt Marci bring the Nellie and Joe's Key Lime Juice from Florida but now I can find it at Dan's next to the Real Lemon juice.
