How to Make Key Lime Pie Fluff
In a large bowl whisk together the lime juice, lime zest and sweetened condensed milk using an electric mixer.
If possible, use fresh key lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled juice works in a pinch, but fresh juice will give your fluff that extra zing. Regular limes will work in a pinch as well.
Stir in the whipped topping and mini marshmallows.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the fluff to set.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with crushed vanilla wafers and fresh lime zest for a beautiful and tasty garnish.
Feel free to add extra mix-ins like shredded coconut, white chocolate chips, or even a few drops of green food coloring for a vibrant look.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
