It's that time of the year.
The temperatures are rising, summer days are right around the corner, and barbecues, pool time and family get togethers are on the horizon.
I'm always looking for easy recipes that take but a few ingredients, but taste like I spent hours working on them.
I've always been more of a pie girl, than
a cake girl. I'll eat cake, but it's not something I am in love with
or need to have in my life.
Now pie is a whole different story. Give me pie every day, and I won't say no.
Some of my favorites, aside from the good ol' Pecan Pie, are the citrus flavored pies. Lemon Meringue, Key Lime Pie. YUM!!!
I've been making this pie for a long time. I was, and kind of still am, a Taste of Home cookbook and magazine collector. I have so many. I could never part with them.
There was even a time where my husband's grandmother passed away, and my mother in law gave me all her Taste of Home magazines. A big ol' stack that I have to this day. I still get so many good ideas from them.
This pie is originally made with Lime jello, but I use whatever I have on hand, and I love the combination of lemon and lime, so you can't really go wrong there.
It is one of those recipes that once you learn it, you won't forget it. It's that easy and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand. If not, just keep a few in your pantry for when the craving hits, or when last minute visitor arrives for the weekend.
Fluffy Lemon Lime Pie
Ingredients
1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust (9 inches)
1/4 cup of boiling water
1 package (0.3 oz) lemon jello (you can use lime too)
2 cartons (6 oz) key lime yogurt (I used one key lime and one plain)
1 carton (8 oz) cool whip
Instructions
In a bowl, add boiling water to the jello, and stir for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add the yogurt and mix well, then fold in the whipped topping, until everything is combined.
Pour into the graham cracker crust and refrigerate, covered for 2 hours, or overnight.
I think this would be a hit at our house! Thank you!
