Key Lime Pie Cheesecake

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 5 limes)
• 1 baked 9-inch pie shell
• Lime slices and fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped topping. Stir in lime juice until well blended and mixture is thick and smooth.

Immediately pour lime filling into pie shell. Pie can be served at once, but for best flavor, chill it about 2 hours.

Garnish with fresh lime slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Notes:
Another nice way to serve this is topped with whipped cream or whipped topping and sprinkled with grated lime rind, it looks even fresher and more scrumptious.
