Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.33 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.33 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- lime slices (optional garnish)
- lemon slices (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the consistency resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square pan to form an even crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lemon juice, lime zest, and lemon zest to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the citrus cream cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with lime and lemon slices if desired. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
