You don't always have to have the 'original' to enjoy something that is equally as good! I suggest making this the night before using, to let flavors blend.
However, you may not want to wait that long! That's OK!
This recipe makes two pies, so you can freeze one for later. But how nice it would be to share the second with your mom and dad, the family next door, or the elderly neighbors up the street. You get the picture: SHARE!
INGREDIENTS:
1 can Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
1 small can concentrate limeade
1 10 or 12 oz container Cool Whip
(they keep changing the weight on
these!)
1 tsp lemon extract (optional)
2 ready-made graham cracker crusts
(I prefer Keebler's)
1 lime, thinly sliced (optional) for
best presentation!
METHOD:
Hand mix first 2 ingredients until smooth. Add next 2 ingredients, mixing until creamy and smooth. Divide this filling into the 2 piecrusts. Use the clear
plastic covers from crust package, inverted as a 'dome', to cover the pies. Chill in fridge overnight (let those great flavors blend!), but you can use
within 2 hours.
For Best Presentation:
Heat to boiling 1/4 cup water, add 1/4 cup sugar and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sugar is desolved. Let cool. Place in small bowl, add sliced limes,
cover and chill in fridge for at least 2 hours (also best if can be chilled overnight). Before serving, cut lime slices half way from middle, pat dry, give a half twist and place on top of pies.
Now....serve, sit back, enjoy the pie and the accolades!
Note: If you freeze one of the pies, be sure to seal the 'dome' lid back under the foil edges of pie dish; keeps much fresher this way. And by the way, when
I mention brand names, it's because I've tried others and they aren't as good as the brand named.
