Amazingly easy, rich & delicious. I omitted the lime juice and made an oreo cookie crust versus the pretzel crust. Everyone loved it! I will definitely be making this recipe again!

Excellent recipe. Quick and easy. I think next time I do it, I'll use a graham cracker base instead of pretzels. Also, I added a drop or two of red food coloring to give it that pink look as shown in the photo.

Very easy, good and a nice summer dessert. I made it in pie form and also used skim sweetened condensed milk. VERY GOOD!
