Girl Scout Key Lime Pie with Lemonade Cookie Crust
Description
Girl Scout Key Lime Pie with Lemonade Cookie Crust combines a crumbly crust formed from finely processed Lemonade cookies and graham crackers bound by melted butter pressed into a pie pan. The filling is a smooth mixture of sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, sour cream, and fresh key lime zest. After pouring the filling into the crust, it is baked at a moderate temperature just until the filling shows tiny bubbles and sets, avoiding browning.
Following baking, the pie is allowed to cool at room temperature before chilling for several hours to fully set and develop flavor. Just before serving, a whipped topping is prepared from heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a touch of key lime zest to complement the tart filling. The pie offers a balance of tangy citrus with the sweetness and richness of the filling and creamy topping, contrasted by the buttery, slightly lemony cookie crust.
This pie is a refined take on classic key lime pie, featuring a distinctive cookie crust that adds depth and texture, while the whipped cream topping adds lightness contrasting the dense citrus filling.

Baking the pie

Making the whipped topping
- Prepare the whipped topping just before serving. In a chilled bowl and using chilled mixing tools, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and a pinch of Key Lime zest. Whip, scraping the sides occasionally, until fluffy.
- Top the pie, decorate it with the reserved cookie, lime slices or additional whip cream if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
