Easy no-bake key lime pie

So, I got this recipe from my grandma years and years ago

I am now going to share it with you all {hopefully, that's ok. lol}

I don't know where she got it, so don't ask....It might be somewhere else on the internet as someone's "original" recipe but I swear I didn't get it from there so don't try to get mad at me for stealing it :)

Key Lime Pie

Ingredients:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 - 1 cup lemon or lime juice

1 small & 1 large container of cool whip

2 graham cracker pie crusts

food coloring

notice how in my pic there are 3 tubs of cool whip? yeah my wal-mart is ghetto and that's what you get. so I used 3 small containers {just the same!}

Notice the fresh lemons and the store bought lime juice? well, fresh is best {make sure to remove any seeds} and we've always used lemons. i dunno why. maybe it tastes better? you can use any combination of the two...more or less for your specific tartness preference. lol.

mix your juices and milk

you can add your food coloring here, but the cool whip will lighten it up.

so I had to add more later.

{you can make this any color you want to fit your occasion}

add in your cool whip....gently

just lightly fold it in....don't over mix it.

add it to your two pie crusts

refrigerate at least 4 hours {8 hours - overnight works best too!}

enjoy!!!

such a "light" dessert perfect for st. patty's day or any spring/summer event!
