Lemon, Lime, Orange…pretty much any citrus flavor just screams Summertime to me! Especially if it’s Cool N’ Creamy!
With all the hot weather we have been having, I am trying not to heat up our kitchen. So I went on the hunt for a No-Bake Dessert.
Many moon ago, I collected the little cookbooks, you know the kind, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, even Pampered Chef makes them. I have one that was published by Kraft in 1993,Simple Desserts Made Special with Cool Whip (Favorite All Time Recipes)
Cool and creamy lime pie. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com
Ingredients
- 1 box (4 serving) Lime Jello
- 2/3 cup boiling water
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime peel
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Ice cubes
- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed
- 1 prepared Graham Cracker crust
Instructions
- Add Jello to boiling water and dissolve completely, stirring about 2 minutes.
- Stir in lime peel and lime juice.
- Add enough ice cubes to the cold water to measure 1 1/4 cups, add to Jello, stirring until all the ice has melted.
- Stir in whipped topping with a wire whisk until smooth. Refrigerate 10 - 15 minutes or until mixture is very thick and mounds.
- Spoon into crust. Return to fridge and chill about 2 hrs until set.
- Garnish with more whipped topping, lime wedges and/or fresh fruit if desired.

Oh, I am just in the mood for something fresh and cool and limey! This will hit the spot. Another super easy pie to make is to mix a regular container of Cool Whip with 2 cartons (8 oz each) of yogurt – pick your favorite flavor! Put this in a graham cracker crust and freeze overnight. (Lemon and Raspberry are the 2 preferred yogurt flavors at our house, but choose your favorite!)
@Margo, Oh yum! What a great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

I posted a lime pie recipe today, too!
My mom used to make a pie similar to this one, but instead of lime jello, she’d use strawberry jello, and it made a really yummy summer pie. I will have to try your version, too!
