Cool & Creamy Key Lime Dessert
Crust: 1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
Heat oven to 350° degrees.
Cut flour into butter. Stir in nuts and lime peel. Press into ungreased 9" pan
(I used a rectangle cake pan). Bake 15 minutes or until light brown. Cool completely.
Filling: 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
2 cups whipping cream
few drops green food coloring
In bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and 2 teaspoons lime peel.
In chilled bowl, beat whipping cream on high until stiff and add food coloring.
Fold lime mixture into whipped cream just until blended. Pour over crust.
Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 48 hours. And store
in refrigerator.
Garnish with extra whip cream and slice of lime. (I used the spray can
kind of whip cream to make this easy) You also can sprinkle on extra nuts.
