10 Minute Lime Pie Food

10-MINUTE LIME PIE

Steps:

• Combine condensed milk and heavy cream in a large bowl.
• Add lime juice and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute.
• Spread 1 cup filling on bottom of deep-dish pie plate.
• Top with single layer of Ritz crackers.
• Repeat, alternating layers of filling and crackers until pie plate is full. Finish with a layer of filling. For that layer, mix half of the lime zest into the "batter".
• Sprinkle with the remaining grated lime zest.
• Refrigerate overnight. Keep refrigerated until serving.
• Note: Original recipe called for 1/2 cup juice but I found it better with more. I also only needed 6 limes to provide the juice I needed. Club crackers can stand-in for Ritz.

5-INGREDIENT KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Process graham crackers in a food processor; the finer the crumbs, the more the crust will stick together. Transfer to a bowl and mix with melted butter. Press and mold mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• While the crust is cooling, combine condensed milk and egg yolks in a bowl; whisk until fully blended and no yolks are visible in the mixture. Slowly pour in Key lime juice while stirring until combined. Pour into the cooled crust.
• Return to the oven and bake until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.
