Creamy Frozen Lime Pie - Cheryl's Favorite Food Memories

Cheryl’s Favorite Food Memories… One of my favorite flavors is lime. As a kid we would have a contest to see who could keep a straight face and not react to the sour.  I never won, but I still love the tart sweet taste of those tiny green fruit.  I especial like key lime pie, but I’ve never been able to duplicate my favorite one from a “Stinky’s” restaurant in Florida.  However, my father-in-love had a freezer “no bake” lime pie he’d make. It is creamy and pretty fabulous, not only is it tasty but it takes hardly any time to prepare. Enjoy! sMILESnBlessings!
