Time 21m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon lime rind, grated
2 large eggs
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups light whipped cream (such as Reddi-whip)
1 cup graham cracker (about 8 cookie sheets)
grated lime rind (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth, pour into the top of a double boiler. Cook over simmering water until mixture thickens (about 6 minutes) or until a thermometer registers 160 degrees F., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Place pan in a large ice-filled bowl for 20 minutes or until mixture comes to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoons whipped cream into each of 8 (8-oz.) glasses, top each serving with 1 tablespoons crumbs and 3 tablespoons lime mixture. Repeat layers once, ending with lime mixture. Top each serving with 1 tablespoons whipped cream; sprinkle with lime rind, if desired. Serve immediately.
