Number Of Ingredients 13

CRUST
8 whole Graham crackers
2 Tbsp. Sugar
5 Tbsp. Unsalted butter, melted
FILLING
¼ cup Sugar
1 Tbsp. Grated lime zest
8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup Instant vanilla pudding mix
1¼ tsp. Unflavored gelatin
1 cup Fresh juice from 6 to 8 limes
1 tsp. Vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the crust: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse crackers and sugar in food processor until finely ground. Add melted butter in steady stream while pulsing until crumbs resemble damp sand. Press crumbs firmly into bottom and sides of 9-inch pie plate. Bake until fragrant and browned around edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool completely. For the filling: Process sugar and zest in food processor until sugar turns bright green, about 30 seconds. Add cream cheese and process until combined, about 30 seconds. Add condensed milk and pudding mix and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl. Stir gelatin and 2 tablespoons lime juice in small bowl. Heat in microwave for 15 seconds; stir until dissolved. With machine running, pour gelatin mixture, remaining lime juice, and vanilla through feed tube and mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. Pour filling into cooled crust, cover with plastic, and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. To serve, let pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
