A nutty crust complements the cool and creamy citrus filling in this marvelous, make-ahead dessert.

This was excellent. The only change I made was I used Pastry Pride instead of cool whip like others have used. Delicious.

I normally try any recipe exactly as written before I make modifications or submit reviews. But this time I was in a hurry and I took shortcuts based on other reviews. I used Cool Whip, but I do think the fresh whipped cream would be better/healthier and cut down on sweetness. I added a small box of sugar-free lime jello for color. I think this may have added to the sweetness overload. I put contents into an extra-large, pre-made graham cracker crust. It was very good, but I would like to try a shortbread crust and the recipe's walnut crust in future attempts. I froze the pie for serving. The frozen texture made the pie easier to cut and serve and was very nice on a hot day.

I made this dessert as called for with 2 substitutions. I used a ready-made shortbread crust, and Cool Whip. It turned out wonderfully! There was a little of the mixture left over as it was too much filling for the crust, but I just let my kids eat it as pudding.

I followed the directions on this, except that I used Cool Whip. The filling was tasty, but the crust had too much flour taste & was too dry...didn't care much for it. Will try a couple of the suggestions, such as 3/4 cup flour & adding powdered sugar, as well as beating the condensed milk. If that doesn't do it, I won't keep this one. The crust just didn't go over well.

I used a 9" springform pan & added 2 tbls. pwdr. sugar to crust & extra nuts. I also beat the sweetened condensed milk, gradually adding the key lime juice. I also used Cool Whip instead of whipping cream. This recipe is a keeper!!!!

I've made this using Cool Whip rather than whipped cream and it's yummy. It's also good frozen.

I've made this 3-4 times recently. For CRUST I used 3/4 cup nuts and 3/4 cups flour and added 1 TBS powdered sugar (to lessen the flour taste). For an update in style, I put it in a 10 inch springform pan (easier to serve and looks prettier, especially on a footed cake stand). I topped it with a ring of thinly sliced kiwi around the edge and, in the center, some berries on top of a dollup of extra whipped cream. I found a 9x9 square a bit small for that much filling. Very tasty, refreshing and EASY! Guests loved it!
