As the days get warmer, I find myself wanting to spend less and less time in the kitchen. Seriously, who wants to be slaving over a hot stove while the sun is shining and it is beautiful spring weather outside?! Not this lady!

I found this Key Lime Pie recipe on the back of a pre-made graham cracker crust package . . . who would have thought that there could be such great recipes there?! This creamy pie seriously only takes 5 minutes to throw together (time yourself! I dare you!) and tastes amazing . . . my husband was so thrilled to find it in the fridge after dinner and he couldn’t believe that I had spent so much time preparing dinner and still made this for dessert.  

Five Minute Creamy Key Lime Pie
Ingredients:
1/4 water
1 package (4-serving size, I think it’s 0.3 oz) sugar-free lime Jell-o*
2 containers (6 oz each) Key Lime Pie yogurt (I used Yoplait)
1 tub (8 oz) frozen non-daity whipped topping (Cool-Whip), thawed
1 pre-made graham cracker crust

Directions:
In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat water for 45-90 seconds or until boiling. Whisk in Jell-o until dissolved.
In a large bowl, whisk together Jell-o mixture and yogurt. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread in crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set.
Garnish as desired. Store in refrigerator.

*I have never made this recipe using any other kind of Jell-o except for sugar free. I am not sure if it would work with regular Jell-o because the size of the packages are so much different.
