Crust
- 12 sheets graham crackers or 1.5 cups of crumbs
- 7 tablespoon butter melted
- 3 tablespoon sugar
Filling
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 6 oz (about ¾ cup) frozen limeade thawed
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 lime zested
Crust
Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until they are fine crumbs. Add the sugar and butter and pulse until it resembles damp sand.
12 sheets graham crackers, 7 tablespoon butter, 3 tablespoon sugar
Pour ⅔ of the crumbs in the bottom of a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Using your fingers or a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the side. Then add the remaining crumbs and press firmly into the bottom of the pan. *For a photo tutorial, see this lemon pie post.
Filling
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), whip the heavy cream and sugar on high until stiff peaks form, about 6-7 minutes.
1½ cups heavy whipping cream, ½ cup powdered sugar
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the the thawed limeade, sweetened condensed milk, and lime zest. Add the whipped cream on top of the lime mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the cream into the filling until it is thoroughly mixed and no white streaks remain.
6 oz (about ¾ cup) frozen limeade, 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 1 lime
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth out the top or add a design (see post for ideas). Then freeze uncovered for at least 6 hours. Once frozen thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap and leave in the freezer until ready to serve.
To serve, thaw for about 10 minutes to make it easier to cut. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- Use firm pressure to compact the crust so that it isn't crumbly.
- Don't skip the lime zest - it adds that pop of fresh flavor.
- Fold the cream gently so that the air isn't knocked out of it.
- This is a rich pie. For a more mellow lime flavor, use a little less limeade (about ½ cup).
Store bought crust: You can buy a crust from the store, but they are generally smaller and won't fit all of the filling.
Storage: Store in the freezer wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for 1-2 months. You can add a layer of foil on top if your food tends to get freezer-burn.
