Key Lime Pie

Normally I tend towards chocolate desserts, but this key lime pie was super easy to make and too good not to try. I used TruWhip (healthier version of CoolWhip) for the topping instead of whipping my own cream. 🙂


Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (crush up about 12 graham crackers)
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp lime zest
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tub TruWhip whipped topping


Directions

Make the crust: mix the brown sugar and melted butter with the crushed cookie crumbs, press into 2 pie tins, and bake at 375F for 10 minutes, then cool.

Make the filling: whisk together the condensed milk, yogurt, lime juice and zest. Pour this mixture into the pie crusts and bake at 350F (note lower temperature than before) for 15 minutes. 

Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until completely chilled. Top with whipped topping or whipped cream and enjoy!
