I discovered this recipe about 2 weeks ago and gave made it twice since. This is an easy and tasty little treat. I used gluteen free Oatmeal biscuits(cross between a cookie shaped Graham cracker and an actual cookie). The only changes/additions I made were:1. the use of a teaspoon of coconut manna to help with oatmeal biscuits; the tablespoon of butter wasn't enough to offer cohesion for the crumble, I didn't freeze the cool whip. It was refrigerated. Next time, yes there will be a next time, I'll freeze it and see if it makes any difference and I used regular limes. Key limes are hard to find. Overall, I really enjoyed this guiltfree dessert.
