This recipe was absolutely amazing and tasted just like key lime pie. It took 5 min to prep and our company LOVED it, even the picky ones. This will be my go-to recipe from now on for a wonderful, easy dessert!

Sooo good! The combo of sweet, sour and salty is perfect! Hubby loves it so much he won't even share! Will make again and again this summer.

The tartness of the lime combined with the salty pretzels is a perfect combination. A great light dessert!

My best friend's husband loves key lime pie so I made this for his birthday and everyone loved it! I made it with a blend of graham wafer crumbs and sweetened coconut for the crust and I used 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, whipped with a 1/4 cup of sugar instead of the Cool Whip. I would definitely make this again.

This pie was delicious. I used graham cracker crumbs instead of pretzel crumbs. I got two thumbs up from my husband and from my mother-in-law!!

I made this dessert for a potluck at work. My coworkers raved! The crust was nice and buttery (I used a bit more butter to hold the crumbs together) and the filling was sweet,tart and creamy ... just the way I like it! I'll make this again in the near future.

I made this recipe with two Kool-Aid Packages, instead of one. I also found that it needed to be served right of the freezer otherwise it goes soft too quickly and the pretzel crust seperates. You want to eat the pie filling and crust together to get the unique taste combination. I topped this pie with small ribbons of lime rind to make it look beautiful. Husband loved this pie and is looking forward to another one being made.
