Is this a key lime pie?

Absolutely! We’re making a key lime pie but we’re not baking it. It’s got the same flavors and roughly the same consistency of a key lime pie but without the cooking and baking bit.

This is an ice box cake/pie recipe which means we’ll be freezing it in order to get the pie to set for cutting and eating. This makes it absolutely perfect for the summer months and those warm days when you need a cool, refreshing treat.

My easy no bake key lime pie is great for serving up as a dessert at summer parties and backyard BBQ’s but keep in mind that it will need to stay chilled!

Kitchen essentials for tasty recipes like this: 

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes (like no bake key lime pie) you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are a must when doing cookie recipes which are super fun and easy to prepare as well.

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

For recipes like this where I’m not doing any baking I like to use ready make graham cracker crusts. They’re great to have on hand for all kinds of no bake desserts.

Ingredients needed for an easy no bake key lime pie:

This recipe will make two pies! We’re using graham cracker crust pie shells, cool whip, frozen limeade that is thawed, condensed milk, and key limes.

Those five ingredients will do it. There’s nothing fancy you need to find. You can whip up some Homemade Whipped Cream to top it off with if you like as well!
