Equipment

  • food processor
  • Electric mixer
  • 10 inch pie plate

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs about 2 sleeves
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted, 1 stick
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

Filling:

  • 24 ounces cream cheese 3 blocks, softened to room temperature
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
  • ¾ cup lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lime zest
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, 1 tub

Toppings:

  • whipped cream
  • lime zest

Instructions

  • Spray a 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray and set aside. Add the graham crackers into the food processor or high speed blender and pulse until you get fine crumbs.
  • Transfer the crumbs into a small mixing bowl and then combine with the sugar and salt.
  • Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pie pan. Place the crust into the freezer for at least 10 minutes to set while making the filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer on medium high speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and zest and beat until well combined.
  • With a rubber spatula, fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  • Remove the pie crust from the freezer and then pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  • Spread evenly with an icing spatula. Go back and forth, lightly pressing down to remove any air pockets.
  • Place the pie into the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the filling to set and hold its shape when cutting. It will also give the flavors time to blend together.
  • When ready to serve, pipe with whipped cream and garnish with fresh lime slices and fresh grated lime zest. Slice and Serve.
