Description
A delightful blend of tart key lime and creamy filling in a simple no bake pie, perfect for summer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup key lime juice
- Fresh key lime slices, for garnish
- Whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the crust: In a small bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until every crumb is evenly coated — it should resemble wet sand.
- Press the crust: Grab a 9-inch pie pan and press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Combine ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk and key lime juice to the cream cheese, mixing until everything is combined and fluffy.
- Pour and chill: Pour the tangy filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing it out. Refrigerate until set — about 60 minutes.
- Garnish & serve: Before serving, adorn your pie with fresh key lime slices and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to create a lump-free filling.
