Yum!! Key lime pies!!
I can't say I had ever really had any until we made them for on of my sisters Bridal showers last summer. We made cute individual cups of pie. They were a hit, and they were delicious.

| Bridal shower pies! |
So fast forward to a few weeks ago, I really wanted to make these for a girls night in I was going to. I called my sister and all she could tell me was she found the recipe on a website... Thats not very helpful. So I searched for some recipes, and I made my own!! They were delicious!!
SO here it is.
Room temperature cream cheese (8 oz)
It needs to be almost warm.
1 can sweet condensed milk (14 oz)
Cool whip (8-12 oz.)
2-4 limes
Graham cracker crust or shortbread cookies
I use my handy KitchenAid. I love having one. When we made this more my sister's bridal shower, we did not have one, and it made the process a little longer. Not bad, but its a lot easier to throw it one bowl and go!
Whip the cream cheese until smooth. This turns out best when the cream cheese is room temp.
When smooth, add the Sweet condensed milk, and cool whip.
zest 1-2 limes, add to mix - my zester was missing. I really don't remember the last time I used it, so I had to figure out something else. You know what works pretty well - a steak knife. Just use the serrated part and scrap the lime. Be careful if you try this way.
Juice 2-4 limes, add to mix to taste, I used 2 this time,
but 3 last time.
If you are making individual pies, place the shortbread cookies in small cups. Fill cups with pie fill to half full. f using Graham Cracker crust, well I have not done it this way so I am not sure if it take the full amount of filling we have. Can also be used as a dip with shortbread cookies and/or vanilla wafers!
Hope you enjoy this nice summer treat!
