This pie, a favorite of the late Dave Kaempfer, can be put together in no time, yet the results are excellent.  If you're watching your fat intake, you can successfully use low fat condensed milk and low fat cool whip.  A graham cracker or vanilla wafer crust is fine, but I think a chocolate cookie crust is more elegant and provides a nice contrast.  The pie is even better if made a day ahead of time.

Ingredients:

4 ounces Key lime juice
4 ounces thawed cool whip
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
lime zest, optional
prepared cookie pie crust

Directions:

Mix thoroughly the lime juice and the condensed milk.  Fold in cool whip.  If you wish to add color to the pie, mix in some lime zest.  Spread filling in pie crust and chill for at least three hours before serving.
