Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 Tbsp lime juice
1 1/2 Tbsp lime zest
12 oz vanilla or white chocolate chips
3 pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 pkg non flavored gelatin
2 1/2 c heavy cream, cold
1 c sugar

0 vanilla wafer crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. In small sauce pan, mix lime juice and gelatin until completely disolved. Add 1/2 cup Heavy cream. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat and add white chocolate chips. Stir until blended. Set aside.
  • 2. In mixing bowl; beat cream cheese, sugar, and lime zest until smooth. Slowley beat in chocolate mixture. In separate bowl; beat remaining cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into mixture.
  • 3. Add melted butter to vanilla wafer crumbs till lightly moist and press into bottom and sides of 10" spring form pan. I have used both vanilla wafer crumbs and graham crackers. Any will do. Pour pie mixture into crust and freeze 4 hrs. Serve cold. May set out about 30 minutes ahead to slice easier.
