Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups crushed pretzels
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cups key lime juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels and granulated sugar.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the pretzel mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides to form a crust.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the filling into the cooled pretzel crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and fresh berries, if using, for garnish.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your non-traditional key lime pie!
