Key Lime Pie Dip



I made this recipe for the Fourth Of July and it was a huge hit in my household. It's like, fluffy, and delicious without being too sweet. Not to mention it is extremely fast and easy and has very few ingredients. What else is great about this recipe is that once you try it, you will be going nuts thinking about all the different pudding and pie combinations you can try just like this. I found the recipe here http://www.shakentogetherlife.com/2016/03/key-lime-pie-dip.html

I will also include the recipe below for convenience


Ingredients

  • One EDWARDS® Key Lime Pie

  • One small box of instant lemon pudding mix

  • One cup of cold milk

  • 8 oz.of thawed whipped topping

  • Your choice of dippers: graham crackers, shortbread cookies or pretzels

  • Lime (optional for zest and garnish)

  1. Remove pie from freezer and allow to thaw about 10 minutes.

  2. While the pie is thawing, mix up the base for the dip.

  3. Whisk together milk and pudding mix.

  4. Allow pudding mixture to set for a minute or so.

  5. Fold in thawed whipped topping - mix just until pudding mixture and whipped topping are combined.

  6. Cut two slices (1/4) of the pie into bite sized pieces.

  7. Gently fold the pieces of pie into the dip.

  8. Spoon dip into serving bowl.

  9. If using the lime, grate fresh lime zest over the top of the tip and garnish with a lime wedge.

  10. Serve with graham crackers, shortbread cookies or pretzels

FRUIT WATER

Fruit Flavored Water


I bought these super cute pitchers at Target and have been filling them at dinner-time to offer a much healthier drink option for my family. I fill the pitcher 1/4 full with ice and then add 1 cut up lemon and a few sliced up strawberries. Fill the rest of the way with water. You can leave this sit while you cook dinner to give the water time to infuse and take on some of the flavor. The great thing about infused water is that you get a nice sweet fruit flavor without all the added sugar and calories of juice or soda. Not to mention that adding different fruits to your water add antioxidants and vitamins for your body.
