10-Minute Lime Pie image

A super easy stand-in for traditional key lime pie. Slightly altered from the version posted on Serious Eats (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/07/10-minute-lime-cracker-pie-recipe.html). Squeezing the limes can be a chore, but you can always skip it by buying fresh lime juice.

Time 10m

Yield 1 pie, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 pint heavy cream
3/4 cup lime juice, plus
1 tablespoon lime zest, from 8 limes
70 Ritz crackers (about 35 crackers per sleeve)

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.
