Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0 as desired lime wedges or zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a texture similar to wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust, covering the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and thickened.

Step 6

Pour the lime mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 8

Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the lime filling.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with lime wedges or additional lime zest, if desired.
