Three Ingredient Frozen Key Lime Pie

Dessert doesn’t get much easier than this. When it’s hot out, the last thing I want to do is to be fussing in a hot kitchen. I love to cook but an overheated Cyn is not a happy Cyn.

I want quick, simple recipes keep the kitchen cool. If they cool us off as we eat them, that’s even better. This Three Ingredient Frozen Key Lime Pie fits the bill!

I love good old fashioned from scratch homemade food. I also think it’s entirely possible to use shortcuts with delicious results.

This recipe uses simple shortcuts to create a yummy summer dessert. Okay, truth be told, I serve this all year-round. It’s just that good!

The key ingredient in this recipe is key lime yogurt. It’s a staple at my local grocery store but I know how fickle those stores can be so if you can’t find it, what can you do?

A simple substitute for the key lime yogurt is: 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, 3/4 tablespoon key lime juice, 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt, 1.5 teaspoons finely grated key lime zest.

What happens if you can’t find key limes? Try this mixture: 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of lime juice, 1/4 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon of finely grated lime zest, 1/2 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest.

Note: I added a tiny bit of green food coloring to this pie to make it a little more vibrant in color. You can omit the food coloring. You’ll simply have a whiter pie.
