Bouffant Blonde Cooks: Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk

Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk is one ingredient every Southern cook should always have in her pantry. Not doing so can result in a quick trip to the local (and expensive) nearby market. Been there, done that. This recipe comes from Carnation. Give it a try!

Carnation Key Lime Pie

1 nine-inch prepared graham cracker crust
1 can (14 oz) Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup (about 3 medium limes) fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
