Ingredients

• 12 sheets Graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon Lime zest
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 slices Lime slices (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Set the mixture aside.

Step 7

In a chilled mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 8

Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the lime filling mixture to lighten it. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for topping.

Step 9

Pour the lime filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Spread the reserved whipped cream over the top of the pie, creating decorative swirls if desired.

Step 11

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 12

Before serving, optionally garnish with lime slices or extra lime zest. Cut into slices and enjoy!
