Ingredients

• 200 grams Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream (cold)
• 120 milliliters Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Lime zest
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 4 slices Lime slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the digestive biscuits until finely crushed. Alternatively, place the biscuits in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they reach a sand-like consistency.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter. Stir until the mixture holds together when pressed.

Step 3

Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan or pie dish to form the crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and creamy. The mixture will thicken slightly as the lime juice reacts with the milk.

Step 5

Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the lime filling over it, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan back into the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 6

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overmix, as the cream can turn grainy.

Step 7

Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the chilled lime filling, creating decorative swirls if desired.

Step 8

Garnish with lime slices or additional lime zest for a decorative touch.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing dessert!
