No Bake Key Lime Pie

How To Make No Bake Key Lime Pie

In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and the heavy cream until well-combined. Add the lime juice and lime zest, and stir in.

Whisk until slightly thickened. The mixture will have the texture of a thin whipped cream and will set up some as it chills.

Spread about 1 cup of the cream mixture in the bottom of your dish.

Top with a layer of crackers and then another layer of the cream mixture.  Add alternating layers of crackers and the cream mixture. You can add more or less layers of crackers to taste.

End the layers with a layer of the cream mixture. Cover, and chill for at least 2 hours.

The longer the dish chills, the more the crackers will soften and the flavors will blend. Top with homemade whipped cream just before serving.

Tips For Making No Bake Key Lime Pie

• This recipe doesn’t use key limes as they can be difficult to find. If you prefer, you can sub key lime juice.
• The pie isn’t overly sweet. If you like a sweeter pie, consider using graham crackers (chocolate or honey) or another sweeter cookie (like Nilla wafters) or cracker (like honey wheat Ritz) in place of the regular Ritz crackers.
• Feel free to use more or less crackers in this pie to taste.
• I prefer to make the pie the day before to give it plenty of time to set up and time for the crackers to soften.
