Wow! Is it really Day 15 already? Only 2 days left in the St. Patrick’s Day Food and Fun…have you enjoyed it? I’ve had a blast! Today I’m sharing Key Lime Dessert, that is not only a perfect St. Patrick’s Day Dessert, but would be a delicious addition to your Easter brunch or Spring Party.
I adapted a Betty Crocker recipe, and instead of using oatmeal cookie dough on the bottom, I made a graham cracker crust. You could also easily add the filling to a store bought graham cracker pie crust, but you will need 2…the filling makes a lot!
Delicious, refreshing dessert for Spring. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve graham crackers
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup {1 stick} butter, melted
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup lime juice {fresh, bottled or Key Lime}
- 2 {8 oz} containers, thawed whipped topping {like Cool Whip}
- 2 {6 oz} containers Yoplait Key Lime Pie Yogurt {either Fat free or thick}
- Few drops of green coloring
- 1 tablespoon grated lime peel {optional, but it adds more flavor}
- Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers in the Food Processor {or use a resealable bag and rolling pin}
- Place in small bowl, add sugar and melted butter
- Combine well, press into 13x9 pan
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden brown, cool completely
- In a large bowl, combine milk and lime juice, beat until smooth and thickened
- Set aside 1 cup of whipped topping for garnish
- Fold in remainder of whipped topping {both containers}, yogurt, food coloring and lime peel
- Mix completely, spoon into cooled crust
- Refrigerate at least 1 hour
- To serve, cut into squares, garnish with whipped topping, lime and fresh fruit {if desired}
- Cover and refrigerate any remaining dessert
This Key Lime Dessert was delicious…not too sweet and not too tart, it didn’t make you pucker up like some lime desserts do. And in case you don’t want to make the crust, it’s also fun to serve in a small trifle bowl!

As a native Floridian, I have to recommend omitting the food coloring. The traditional key lime pies do not have a green color. Can’t wait to try this version…I love that it is crowd-size!
