"Such a great dessert recipe given to me by an online acquaintance, that I actually purchased parfait glasses for this, though totally unnecessary. When I brought them to the table my father-in-law said, "Wow! Did you 'make' those?" Made me smile. : ) They were a hit, but the kid's don't like the coconut (surprise, surprise). (Cook time is chill time)"

This is a great make-ahead dessert. We loved the combination of lime and coconut. A very nice finish to any meal. A little bit of the tropics on a cold and rainy night. :-)

Mother-in-law is a key lime lover so I gave these a try for Mother's Day. She was polite but they weren't my thing. Then I'm not a fan of jello.

Delicious and easy to make. This tastes exactly like the Weight Watchers version of Key Lime Pie, but this version has fewer steps and the prep is faster. I did not have parfait glasses. Instead used standard size coffee cups and it worked just fine. Although, the parfait glasses would showcase the layers for company or kids. Thanks for sharing.

my family absolutely loved this. it reminds me of Yoplait key lime "whips" yogurt which is my little girl's favorite. i had leftovers and my husband made a sugar cookie sandwhich with it which was really good,too. will definitely make again.
