Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar for crust
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 0.5 cup key lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp lime zest finely grated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping for garnish
  • 1 slice lime for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
  • Pour the key lime filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  • Top with whipped topping and lime slices before serving.

Notes
