Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 2 cups whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 6 pieces lime slices or wedges (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake it for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
While the crust cools, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese while mixing, ensuring the mixture stays smooth and well combined.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice and lime zest until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the lime mixture with a spatula until no streaks remain.
Spread the lime filling evenly over the cooled crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set.
When ready to serve, remove the dish from the refrigerator and carefully slice into square portions.
Garnish each square with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a small lime slice or wedge, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy the luscious lime flavor!
