Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. You know the time you were so good at the 4th of July celebration that you hardly touched anything sweet. Then you leave feeling so hungry for something sweet you absolutely have to make something, like a refrigerator pie. (or you probably don’t but I will pretend everyone suffers from this) But then you realize you don’t have the normal fridge pie making ingredients, so you search in the cupboards and come up with this surprisingly delicious pie. This was me Saturday evening, making this pie, searching, huffing and puffing around the kitchen, and pleasantly surprised how good it turned out. DT kept saying over and over, you make this? You came up with this all on your own? I just love how confident he is with my recipe creating skillz! But I must admit I was pretty surprised at how good this turned out, I absolutely love the crust, way better than graham cracker crust!! Way better.
Ingredients: 20 vanilla cookies, 4 T butter, 1 can cherry pie filling (or any pie filling would be great), 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 T lime Juice, 1 9 inch pie plate
Put cookies in a food processor and grind until finely crushed ( or crush old fashion way in a plastic baggie and a mallet)
Melt butter
and pour both cookie crumbs and melted butter into pie plate
Mix well and the press down to form crust
Then bake @ 350 for 5-7 minutes
Once the crust if finished remove to cool and start on the filling
add 1 can of sweetened condensed Milk
half the can of cherry filling
and 1 T lime juice
Mix well
Then pour on cooled pie crust and smooth
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then slice.
Enjoy with a little extra pie filling and cool whip!
Might not be the prettiest pie, but sure did taste great!
