This retro recipe was due for some new photos! This easy-to-make lime pie is one of the oldest recipes on my website. It is a classic creamy no-bake pie that is perfect for those who love citrus-based sweets and treats.
Why I Think You’ll Love This Recipe!
- This is a great no-bake pie recipe that is perfect for the summer or for when you don’t have much time to prepare a dessert.
- I love a good Cool Whip based dessert!
- If you love lime desserts, you will love this recipe!
No Bake Lime Pie
This is one of those recipes that you can cobble together in mere minutes. Instead of baking, you have to allow time for it to set in the refrigerator, but there is no turning on your oven in the summer heat. You can also make it a day ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator. You don’t want to leave it more than that as the crust will get soggy.
Try This Pie Frozen!
You can also freeze this pie for a while and eat a sweet, cold pie on a hot summer’s day! This pie freezes beautifully and slices into perfect pieces.
You don’t want this pie to come to room temperature; it should always be served cold, and any leftovers must be stored in the refrigerator.
I hope you give this one a whirl! Thanks to its green color, it would also be a lovely pie at Christmas time, and it’s so easy to make during the hectic holiday season.
Happy baking!

I love anchovies & I love LIME pie. But the 2 TOGETHER? Scares the beejeebers (sp?) out of me! What on earth does it taste like?! Some brave soul, please tell me!

PS. That is not a suggestion for anyone’s playlist. Ever.
I do recommend Joan Jett’s Bad Reputation for an “I don’t care” song.
