Test Kitchen Tuesday ~ Week 11

Last weeks Cakeapalooza was a success and I can sleep at night again. No matter how many cakes I do, wedding cakes still stress me out.

When I have that much caking to do , I don't cook much due to the fact my oven is tied up.

Last week I made a no bake peanut butter pie as a result.

This week I am making another no bake pie. 

Not because my oven is tied up, but because 

#1 they are fast and easy. 

#2 the last one went over so well I was asked to make another.

#3 I'm just plain tired of baking and cooking after last week.

I love key Lime Pie. If it's on a dessert menu, I'm ordering it.

I have made them before, but they required baking, and sweetened condensed milk. 

I found a recipe on Eat Good 4 Life that did not require either so I decided to give it a try.

The catch is, the only ingredients I had on hand that the original recipe calls for are cream cheese and confectioners sugar.

So from that recipe, I made my own ( which is shown on my recipe card ).

I can guarantee the original recipe would be fantastic and worth trying.( I plan to when I have all the ingredients someday )

Here is my easier version of a no bake key lime pie.

I used bottled Key Lime juice and pre-made graham crust for mine. I also top mine with fresh whipped cream.

I can't rate the original recipe because the pie I made has so many alterations.

So I will rate my version.

Like last weeks pie, it's not restaurant quality. It is fast and easy to make with great flavor.

The only thing I would do different next time is add more key lime juice. I like a very tangy pie. I would increase the key lime juice by at least 1 TBSP.
