Frozen Key Lime Pie
Looking for a delicious summertime treat? This frozen key lime pie recipe is sure to please. It is simple, delicious, and refreshing.
Here before you is one of the most delicious desserts and tops my list as my favorite summertime treat. I love it! And my husband knew that so he made it for me for Mother’s Day.
The recipe is from my Aunt Marilyn, who you should know by now does not fail me in her recommendations.
It is light and tart and sweet and absolutely divine. I could eat it every night for the rest of my life. And as soon as I publish this here post, I am about to go devour the rest in the freezer.
Oh, by the way, the reason my pie looks sickly green (instead of vibrant and beautiful!) is because my husband had to substitute the zesty lemon sorbet (since our grocery store didn’t carry it – boo!) with passion fruit sorbet and it turned the ice cream filling brown (very bad!) so he doused it with some green food coloring.
Normally, the pie looks more healthy green than fake green. 🙂 Delicious, nonetheless!

What is frozen yogurt? Is it the same as regular yogurt?
No, it’s like ice cream (so check the ice cream aisle) but it’s a frozen treat made with yogurt.
I knew I liked you, I got key lime pie for Mommy day too! Yummm!
Pretty color 🙂 It makes it look more mint than key lime!
Melanie, that pie looks amazing, just my kind of dessert! Great contest and congrats to the winner!
I have been searching for a recipe for coconut halibut. One that would match the amazingness of the one they serve at Happy Sumo. Thanks to your contest, I have succeeded. My husband now thinks I am the most amazing wife ever. I found the recipe for sticky coconut chicken from one of the submissions for your contest, and I just substituted halibut for the chicken. If you haven’t tried this it should be the next one you try. Thanks for sharing.

Melanie, it was SO good. I made a 9×13 pan and served it at a family party. It was a hit! And best of all there were leftovers that I’m hiding for myself.
Yum! I just finished making this. I’m a tart lime fanatic and added a little bit of limeade concentrate to up the lime factor. I haven’t tried it all together yet, but it was all I could do to keep from eating the filling with a spoon. Thanks for sharing this yummmmmy recipe!
Hey, I kinda like the green color! Sounds great in any color.
