Ingredients
- 1 pouch of oatmeal cookie mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, cold
- 2 tins of milk, sweetened condensed (not evaporated)
- 3/4 cup of key lime juice, juice (or regular lime juice)
- 1 container of whipped topping, thawed
- 2 6 oz containers of yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of lime(s), zest
Instructions
Preheat Heat oven to 350 F. Grease the baking pan.
Prepare crust Place the cookie mix in a large bowl. Cut in the butter, using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture is crumbly and coarse. Lightly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool while preparing the filling.

Notes
This recipe is slightly tart, if you like more lime zing, add another teaspoon of lime juice or use Key lime yogurt instead of plain
