Recipe Introduction
Refreshing and delicious!
List of Ingredients
Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbs. sugar -- or more or less to
taste (3 to 4)
6 Tbs. melted unsalted butter
1 pinch salt -- optional
Filling:
1 package softened 1/3-less fat cream cheese -- (8 ounce)
1 can low-fat sweetened condensed milk -- (14 ounce)
1/3 cup plus 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tsp. lime zest -- or more to taste
1 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 Tbs. powdered sugar
1 tsp. fresh lime juice -- or more to taste
1/2 tsp. lime zestRecipe
To make crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Stir in butter. You can do this in bowl or a food processor. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 11-inch tart pan. (I baked the crust on a pizza pan just in case it leaked butter but it didn't. Plus it made it easier to handle the tart pan when going in and out of the oven). Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or so until golden brown. Cool completely.
To make filling:
Beat cream cheese with mixer. Add rest of ingredients and gradually increase speed to medium-high (#8 on my KA mixer) for 10 minutes or so. Pour mixture into graham cracker pie crust. Refrigerate until firm.
To make topping:
Beat cream in a stand mixer with whisk attachment starting at low and gradually going to med/high or high. Sprinkle in the rest of ingredients and beat until it almost comes to stiff peaks. Spread over filling and chill until ready to serve. Can sprinkle with additional lime zest if desired.
