Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 16 full sheets Graham Crackers
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) Butter (melted)
- 1/3 cup granulated Sugar
Key Lime Pie Filling
- 16 ounces (2 packages) Cream Cheese (room temperature)
- 2 cups Sweetened Condensed Milk (two 14 oz cans)
- 1/2 cup Key Lime Juice
- 1/3 cup granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh Key Lime Zest
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping Cream (chilled)
- 1/2 cup Confectioners’ Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Key Lime slices to garnish
- Lime Zest to garnish
Instructions
For the Crust:
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers to crumbs (or smash in a plastic bag).
- Place crumbs in a medium size bowl, and stir in the melted Butter and Sugar until mixed. Press remaining crumbs evenly in a 9-inch pie pan, pressing down the crust firmly, using a measuring cup, or the back side of a large spoon.
- Place crust in freezer to set.
For the Key Lime Pie Filling:
- Add the softened Cream Cheese, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Key Lime Juice, Sugar, and Lime Zest into a medium sized mixing bowl. Blend together at medium speed, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust. Spread evenly, and chill in the freezer for the first hour, then in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
- Add the Cream, Confectioners’ Sugar and Vanilla to a mixing bowl and whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 1-2 minutes.
- Pipe whipped cream in your favorite design around the edge of the pie. Add half or quarter slices of Key Limes to decorate. Garnish with Key Lime Zest if desired.
- Slice pie and serve. Enjoy!
