Key Lime Pie Dessert is the ultimate refreshing treat, featuring a tangy filling on a crumbly crust, topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150 g graham cracker crumbs
  • 38 g granulated sugar
  • 75 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
  • 397 g sweetened condensed milk
  • 160 ml fresh key lime juice
  • 240 ml heavy whipping cream
  • 25 g granulated sugar (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly onto the base and sides of a 23 cm pie plate to form a compact crust. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 175°C.
  3. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and lime zest on high speed until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and continue beating for 3–4 minutes on high speed. Reduce speed, and slowly incorporate fresh key lime juice until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Pour the lime filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, until just set. Remove from oven, allow to cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  5. Place a metal mixing bowl and whisk into the freezer for 10 minutes to chill. Remove from freezer, add granulated sugar and heavy whipping cream to the bowl, then whip until stiff peaks form. Take care not to over-whip.
  6. Top the chilled pie with freshly whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to use fresh key lime juice for the best flavor.
  • The chilled pie can be made a day in advance for convenience.
