Who doesn't like the taste of good ole' Key Lime Pie? Well those people are crazy! It's one of our family's favorite pies. And until now, we could only get it when we go to restaurants that offer it as a dessert and we save enough room in our bellies to actually order dessert.
So now we have a recipe that is half the effort and twice the fun. You could potentially eat the entire thing, and it's quite frankly hard to resist. It's also enough to share with someone if you can part with it. You could hide it in the back of the fridge if stolen bites are the problem around your house.
Ingredients:
Pie Crust
4 S'more sized graham crackers (1/4 cup)
2 Tsp Coconut Oil
1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
Pinch of Salt
Pie Filling
2 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 Tbsp Sugar
1/2 Lime - juiced
1/4 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 1/2 Tbsp Dairy Free Coconutmilk Vanilla Yogurt
1-2 Drops Green Food Coloring
Instructions:
1. Crush the graham crackers
2. Mix graham crackers, coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Lightly press mixture into the bottom of the mug
4. Microwave at 50% for 30 seconds
5. In a separate bowl whip cream cheese, sugar, lime, sweetened condensed milk, and yogurt
6. Stir in 1-2 drops of food coloring
7. Add this mixture over the crust
8. Refrigerate for 1 hour
9. Add whip cream and lime slice for garnish (optional)
10. Enjoy!
Notes:
* Be sure the coconut oil is in liquid form. If it is solid, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds until it returns to a liquid.
* Any Greek style yogurt should work for this recipe. Coconut flavored would be tasty. Just make sure it is not a competing flavor. For instance, I would not suggest a chocolate flavored yogurt.
* Ice cream and/or caramel drizzle are great toppers with this dessert.
* Different food colors are different. Start with 1-2 drops and then judge from there if you want a deeper color. In Jazmin's video, more than 2 drops came out and it was quite the bright green, but she loved it.
