Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 120 ml lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 pieces lime slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) round springform pan to form an even crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until fully incorporated.
Pour the lime filling over the cooled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
Once set, release the springform pan ring and transfer the dessert to a serving plate.
Garnish with lime slices and additional lime zest, if desired, before serving.
