Lime Cheesecake Pie
"This light citrus pie combines two of our favorite dessert flavors - lime and cheesecake," reports Vivian Eagleson of Cumming, Georgia. "It's the perfect treat on a hot day - and all the more inviting because you don't have to heat up the kitchen to prepare it."
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
- 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- Lime slices and fresh mint, optional

Great summertime cheesecake offering with the lime flavoring. Add more lime juice if you want--but no more than a couple of tablespoons is needed. I do add green food coloring to bump up the color--without it, it looks rather bland but you may prefer it as is. I do garnish with the lime slices for presentation effect--so pretty!
Extreme Vanilla overkill! Glad I tased Cream Cheese filling mixture before i put in pie crust! I added at least another 2 Tablespoons of lime juice. Vanilla and lime flavor fight. If I were to make again, I would increase the lime jiuce and leave out the vanilla. Filling somewhat soft, may consider adding some instant pudding mix to help set up filling.
Yummy! Will definitely make this again. Did not use a carton of whipped topping though.
I used the mini graham cracker crust. It made 11 pies. My kids loved them! I will be making this one again...just no cool whip on mine :)
Love it, make it all the time. It's quick to whip up and everyone compliments me on it.
