This no bake key lime pie recipe showcases the bright, tangy flavor of key limes, resulting in a dessert that is creamy, zesty, and utterly delightful.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup sour cream
½ cup fresh key lime juice (about 4-5 key limes)
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
Whipped cream (optional)
Lime slices or zest for decoration (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, and ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, fresh key lime juice, and grated lime zest until smooth and well combined.
Pour the key lime filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best flavor, let it chill overnight.
Once set, slice the pie and garnish with whipped cream and lime slices or zest if desired.
