Ingredients
- 2 14oz cans of sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- ¾ cup key lime juice fresh or bottled
- 1 9-inch graham cracker crust store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the {store-bought} graham cracker crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Let the crust cool before filling it.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk and then the lime juice until completely combined, scraping the bowl after each addition. Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. *You may have a small amount of extra filling.
- Bake the pie for 15-20 minutes, until set and slightly wobbly when shaken. Let the pie cool at room temperature for 30 minutes—1 hour. Once cooled, chill the pie in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Garnish it with whipped cream (see recipe below) and enjoy.
Notes
- For Whipped Topping Garnish: Whip 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add 3 tablespoons of sifted confectioners sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Pile whipped cream over the top of the cooled pie. Garnish with fresh lime zest, if desired.
- Cover the cooled pie with a domed lid or wrap it in foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
