Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Melt the unsalted butter and stir it into the graham cracker mixture until evenly moistened.
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even surface. Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whip the chilled heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the key lime mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with additional lime zest, lime slices, or whipped cream, if desired.
