Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cups Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Optional: Lime slices or zest, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lime juice, and lime zest until evenly combined. The mixture will thicken slightly.
In another mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Before serving, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with lime slices or zest if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
