Would it be okay to omit the brown sugar from the crust? I find graham crackers plenty sweet on their own and was wondering if I can omit the brown sugar do I need to add more butter as a binder? Thank you!
I vividly remember that Debra laughed when I asked for the recipe. She said it was SO EASY! She's not kidding. You can have it made in minutes. It's extra easy if you make it with a store-bought graham cracker crust, but I prefer the pie with a homemade graham cracker crust. The homemade crust adds a little prep time, but it's so worth it!
While the flavor of the key lime filling was delicious, overall these bars were a disappointment as they would not come our of the pan intact. In looking now at other recipes, the directions state to spray the bottom with cooking spray. Unfortunately, I am left with a graham cracker crust stuck to the bottom of the pay.
1) The crust is made with animal crackers. Weird, kind of. And really, really genius. The texture and flavor of the simple and sweet animal crackers makes a delicious, nutty-like crust. I love the crust on these bars. Love it.
Thank you so much for your help! I made the recipe using 1/2 package of silken tofu in place of the soaked cashews and it turned out WONDERFULLY! (I also replaced half of the graham crackers in the crust with crushed almonds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds for a little extra nutrition, and that worked perfectly as well). I will be making this again and again!
This easy Key Lime Yogurt Pie is a cross between a key lime pie and a key lime cheesecake with a light, creamy filling that is sweet and tart, made with key lime juice, yogurt and cream cheese in a graham cracker crust.
For the crust, I switched things up a bit and created a buttery, heavy on the vanilla, Ritz cracker crust. To me, this is better than a graham cracker crust any day. Simply mix the cracker crumbs with salted butter and a good splash of vanilla and bake everything up in a square baking dish. All done, super easy. That touch of vanilla and the use of salted butter are key.
Gently whisk the lime juice and zest into the base. Pour the mixture into the container of an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Just after churning quickly stir in the graham cracker crumbs. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
To crush graham crackers, place about 5 graham crackers in a large zip-top bag. Place on a work surface and roll over them with a rolling pin, heavy jar, or wine bottle. Alternatively, break them up a bit by hand, then process in a food processor into crumbs.
While there are a few things that key lime purists agree about, including that the pie must be pale yellow in color to be authentic, there is some disagreement about what type of crust should be used. Graham cracker crust or shortcrust?
These Crumbl key lime pie cookies are inspired by the iconic key lime pies. With a graham cracker cookie base that is topped with a homemade from scratch key lime pie filling, a dollop of whipped cream, and a wedge of lime to finish it off!
Someday I am going to bake them all. putting smiles on faces through your great recipes. Key Lime was my number one the Graham cracker base cookie opens all sorts of fun options. Tied now with number one is Cinnamon swirl for the cinnamon lovers and Peanut butter brownie, just did this weekend. Awesome!!
The graham cracker crust can be a pre-made crust purchased at the grocery store. However, if you have the time, a homemade crust does taste better. You can also purchase pre-made graham cracker crumbs or make your own by doing one of the following:
The easy way to make these key lime pie sandwich cookies would have been to use graham crackers straight out of the package, but I am not a real fan of graham crackers...they are too dry and crumbly. Doesn't a nice, soft cookie sound better?
I struck gold with this recipe...I would eat these cookies without the key lime part! They are almost like a ginger snap, but much milder in the spice-department and have that awesome graham cracker flavor. Graham crackers without the crumbly dry mess? Ah-maze-ing!!!!
For the filling, I combined cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the zest and juice of a few key limes. Super fast and simple and delicious...try not to eat it straight out of the bowl, it is even better when smooshed between the graham cracker cookies!
Since March is finally here and I have all things fruit on the brain, I decided to create a mini key lime cheesecake version. Between the buttery graham cracker crust, creamy key lime cheesecake filling, and the homemade whipped cream on top it was almost impossible not to eat the whole batch.
This recipe is absolutely delicious. I made small, individual parfaits for a tea party and the tart, lime flavor filling topped with a whipped cream rosette was a big hit. I also added chopped walnuts to the graham cracker crust giving it a bit of a crunch. This is a winning recipe. Thanks, Gemma!
This recipe includes ingredients and instructions for making your own graham cracker crust. Which, like most things homemade, is just better than store-bought. However, if you want to use a store-bought crust, this recipe will work fine.
Wow!
This recipe was so easy! I used GF Mi-del pre-made graham cracker crust. My family has requested a repeat of this pie. Perfect topped with a dollop of Coco-Whip. Our family will certainly make this pie recipe again.

Also, for this cookie the flour was cut down by cup and crushed graham crackers were added. The addition of the graham crackers is really good, it makes the cookie a little crispier than a normal cakey cookie. It really does taste like a graham cracker crust with a key lime pie!
To make your own graham cracker crumbs either drop thegraham crackers in a food processor and pulse a few times. Or place the crackers in a gallon sizefreezer bag and lightly pound with a rolling pin. Then to finish off into fine pieces roll thebag with the rolling pin.
Line muffin tin with paper or foil muffin cups. Press graham cracker mix into the bottom of the cups. Press with fingers or use the back of a teaspoon for the mini bites or a thin drinking glass for the regular size muffin tin.
Graham cracker crumbs: If you want to crush your own crumbs use the food processor or fill a resealable gallon size freezer bag with the crackers. Lightly pound the crackers into crumbs with a rolling pin. Then finally roll the bag until you get fine crumbs.
3. Spread 1/3 of the pudding filling over the top of the crackers. Top the filling with more crackers and continue layering the two until you end up with a layer of graham crackers on top. I usually get four layers total.
This Salted Key Lime Pie is the perfect dessert for a summer barbeque. The sweet and salty combo brings out the tart flavor of the fresh key lime filling. Did we mention the crust is made from graham crackers AND pretzels?!
Lime Cracker Icebox Custard Pie is a cross between a key lime pie and lime custard. Thick and creamy sweet and tart lime custard is set between alternating layers of salty and sweet crackers to create a delicious no-bake dessert.
To start out, melt the butter and mix it with the graham cracker crumbs. Add equal amounts of this mixture to the bottom of each glass or jar. The mixture should resemble wet sand. In the meantime, zest two limes. Half of the zest will be used for the mixture, and the other half will be used for garnish later.

The Key Lime Pie ice cream was amazing! My guests loved it, one of them (who is a very picky eater) commented it was the best ice cream he had ever eaten! My only changes were I left out the graham cracker part (I'm gluten free) and since I live in FL, I used fresh squeezed key limes. Will definitely be making this one again and again. Thank you!
Franchise, thank you so very much for sharing this recipe. I am gluten intolerant so I have to use gf crusts, which is my preference over the graham cracker crust.
Filling was so smooth and creamy. Thank you again. Please continue to share. Best regards, Kat Duke
PS- thank you also for the tip about the foil!
