Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Fresh lime juice
- 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
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream. Fold until fully combined and fluffy.
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing it to set completely.
Before serving, garnish with lime slices or additional lime zest, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
