Luscious Key Lime Dessert

(found at bettycrocker.com)

1 pouch oatmeal cookie mix

½ cup firm butter

2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk

¾ cup Key lime juice or lime juice

2 containers (8 oz each) frozen whipped topping, thawed

2 containers (6 oz each) Key Lime pie yogurt

1 tablespoon grated lime peel (I did not use)

½ cup fresh berries (this is to top with if you would like I just served strawberries on the side)

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350. Spray bottom and side of 13x9 inch pan with cooking spray.

2. Place cookie mix in large bowl. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly and course. Lightly press crumbs in bottom of pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.

3. In large bowl, beat condensed milk and lime juice with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and thickened. Remove 1 cup of the whipped topping; set aside (I did not do this and just used all my topping). Fold remaining whipped topping and yogurt into milk mixture. Spoon into cooled crust. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or so until set.

4. To serve, cut into 5 rows by 4 rows (I REALLY appreciate having these specific directions because when I go to cut something I always wonder how many pieces or how big. This takes out all the guess work…go Betty Crocker!) Garnish each serving with a dollop of remaining whipped topping, lime peel, and fresh berries. Cover and refrigerate any remaining dessert.
