Cecile's Key Lime Pie

I spent a lot of time with my grandparents at their house in the Keys when I was young. We always had barbecue with baked potatoes and key lime pie.



This is one of my grandmother's specialties. She has eleven children, therefore, she only makes what is fast and easy. The pie is not very tart - which I like. The more key lime juice you add, the more tart it gets.



Cecile's Key Lime Pie

1 ready-made graham cracker crust
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup and 2 tablespoons key lime juice (recommended: Nellie and Joe’s)
2 cups cool whip (about 1 8-oz container)
1 (14 oz) can condensed milk

Beat milk and salt on low. Slowly add juice. Fold in cool whip. Cover and set in fridge for a few hours.
