1 (3 ounce) package lime-flavored gelatin (such as Jell-O®)

1 1/2 teaspoons grated Key lime zest, plus more for garnish

Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime gelatin powder, Key lime zest, and Key lime juice until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping, miniature marshmallows, and half of the broken graham cracker pieces until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped topping. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the salad has set. (60 minutes)

05

Step

Before serving, transfer the Key lime pie salad to a serving dish. Garnish with additional Key lime zest and the remaining graham cracker pieces. (5 minutes)

For a more intense lime flavor, add an extra teaspoon of Key lime zest to the mixture.
If you don't have fresh Key limes, bottled Key lime juice can be used as a substitute.
Feel free to experiment with different types of marshmallows, such as flavored or colored marshmallows, to add a unique twist to the salad.
For a creamier texture, use full-fat cream cheese instead of whipped topping.
