No Bake Key Lime Pie
INGREDIENTS
Crust
- 1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 Tablespoon sugar
- 6 Tablespoon butter melted
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup key lime juice
- Zest from 2 limes
Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 Tablespoon powdered sugar
- Lime zest optional
METHOD
Crust
- Mix together the graham crumbs, butter and sugar. Press into a 9 inch pie pan and use the bottom of a flat glass or a flat measuring cup to evenly press along the bottom and use your fingers to press evenly along the sides. Set in the fridge until the filling is ready.
Filling
- Whip cream to stiff peaks and set aside.
- In another bowl, use the paddle attachment to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest and mix using the whisk attachment.
- Fold in the whipped cream.
- Pour into chilled crust and set in fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Topping
- Whip cream and powdered sugar together until medium stiff peaks form. You can use a piping bag and star tip to pipe a design on top, or just spread it across with a spatula. Add fresh lime zest, if desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
NOTES
You may have more than enough filling to fill your pie shell. The leftover filling makes a great key lime dip! Let it chill in the fridge for 3 hours and then serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or animal crackers.
