Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (crumbled) Graham crackers
- 0.5 cups (finely chopped) Pecans or walnuts
- 6 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cups (thawed) Frozen limeade concentrate
- 1 cup (chilled) Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 4 slices (for garnish) Optional: Lime slices
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, finely chopped pecans or walnuts, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham nut mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to firmly pack the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and thawed limeade concentrate. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the limeade mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as you mix.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle lime zest over the top.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, ensuring it doesn’t touch the top of the filling, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.
Before serving, garnish with lime slices if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
