Light and Easy Frozen Key Lime Pie Fix


Arighty, time to show a little bit of Florida love here!  Let's talk Key Lime Pie, the official pie of the state of Florida.  (Yes, I am a bit of a dork and looked that up, thank you Wikipedia.)  Before moving to Florida 12 or so years ago, I hadn't really heard of Key Lime Pie or Key limes for that matter.  Key limes are more aromatic and tart than traditional Persian limes.  Anyway you want to look at it, its good stuff!  If given the chance, you must try the real thing.  This can not even compare, but will definitely give you a "Key Lime Fix"  with out breaking your belt.  If you think Key limes just aren't your thing or you are not able to find any of the canned pie filling, I would imagine other creamy pie filling would be yummy as well.  Get creative!

Frozen Key Lime Pie Fix

Servings: 18 • Calories: 85 • Fat: .2g • Carbs: 19g • Fiber: 0g • WW Points:2


Ingredients

  • 1 can Key Lime Pie Filling
  • 16 Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers
  • 1 tub Cool Whip Free (thawed)
  • Nonstick spray, butter flavored


Place Nilla wafers in a ziploc bag.  Make sure it is closed. Now take out your aggression on those naughty little cookies =) Seriously, though... make sure you crush the cookies fine enough to mimic pie crust. 



Lightly spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray.  Evenly spread a thin layer of the crushed cookies across the pan.



Carefully drop dollops of the pie filling on top of the crust.


Spread the filling evenly across the pan. Be careful not to disturb the crust. (Try not to "taste" too much while doing this!)



Now, spread the cool whip over the filling.  Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for a couple hours.  I cut it when it was almost completely frozen, but I think i liked it the most when it had thawed out a teeny bit.
