Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 cup nuts finely chopped or ground I used walnuts
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 12 tablespoons butter melted

- 3 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 14 ounce can condensed milk

- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 8 ounces thawed cool whip
Instructions
Crust Instructions
- Combine all crust ingredients. Press into 9 inch regular pie shell. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Let cool before adding pie filling.
Filling Instructions
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth with a mixer. Add condensed milk, lime juice and lime zest and continue mixing until combined. Fold in thawed cool whip. Pour into cooled crust and chill 4 to 5 hours or overnight until set. Can garnish with lime slices and lime zest.
Notes
If you use 3 packages of cream cheese, you could make this in a deep dish crust. You can use a bought graham cracker crust instead of making your own. If you use a regular 9 inch crust like we did your filling will be tall like the filling in our pie because we used a regular crust and recipe makes a lot of filling.
