Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 0.75 cups Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
- 4 slices Thin lime slices (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk and freshly squeezed lime juice together until smooth and slightly thickened.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture. Add the lime zest and fold until well combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the lime mousse filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
Optionally, garnish the pie with whipped cream and thin lime slices before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
