Ingredients
Key Lime Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened (2 blocks equals 16 ounces)
- ⅓ cup key lime juice (Nellie and Joe's - ad)
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 fresh limes (decoration and lime zest)
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 stick salted butter (melted)
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Whipped Cream (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until creamy.
- Add key lime juice (ad) and beat until lumps are gone. Some small lumps may remain.
- Fold in sweetened condensed milk and beat until fluffy.
- Zest one lime into the filling and store in refrigerator while making crust.
- Melt butter and add it to graham cracker crumbs in a separate bowl. Mix well with hands.
- Press graham cracker crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate.
- Pour filling into crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or freeze overnight for a frozen pie.
- After pie has cooled, decorate with sliced limes and whipped cream. (optional)
Notes
- Use key lime juice or fresh lime juice for best results. Bottled regular lime juice does not have the same flavor.
- Mix the lime juice with the cream cheese and beat on high speed until fluffy. Always do this before adding sweetened condensed milk to avoid large lumps.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
- Freeze the whole pie by wrapping tightly with plastic wrap and storing in the freezer for up to 3 months. Serve frozen, or thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
