This No-Bake Key Lime Pie is sweet, tangy, and silky. Only requiring 6 ingredients and no cooking, it’s perfect for summer!
106 degrees the other day, friends. Pretty much on par for Sacramento in June. Every year I’m like, “Yay, it’s hot! Time to get in the pool!” and then I’m like, “Omg. Its HOT. Oy.” Rinse repeat. How do people live without air conditioning? I would sooner get rid of all my electronics and beloved books before I would give that up. Well…maybe. Don’t test me.
One thing is for sure, though – I turn on my oven as little as possible from now until September.
And yet, I’m not willing to give up on baking. So, there in lies a conundrum.
Which is when I start obsessing over no-bake desserts, like this Key Lime Pie. Sweet, tangy, and marvelously silky smooth. So good, I guarantee I’ll be making it in the winter, too.
6-Ingredient No-Bake Key Lime Pie
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups Nilla Wafer cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter , melted
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounce tub Cool Whip , thawed
- 6 ounce container frozen concentrate limeade
- zest from one lime
Instructions
- Blend the Nilla Wafers in a food processor until finely ground; add in the melted butter and blend until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the condensed milk, Cool Whip, limeade, and zest until combined and fluffy; pour on top of the crust in the pan. Refrigerate overnight.
- Transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes (to make cutting easier.)
- Carefully remove the ring around the pan. Slice and serve on its own, or with additional lime zest or a dollop of whipped topping.

Nilla wafeeeeeers. why do I not keep these on hand. Why do I not keep lime concentrate on hand. IT’S FREAKIN 106 DEGREES!! Looks legit my friend :)
This was devoured by Paul and the kids in one day. So I made it again. Gone. Sigh.
I’m starving today and it’s hot, which means I kinda sorta want to eat a whole one of these myself. *heart eyes*
