  • Total Time: 45 minutes plus chilling
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 12 whole graham crackers)

⅓ cup packed light brown sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Two 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk)

1 tablespoon grated lime zest

¾ cup fresh lime juice

1 cup cold heavy cream

2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

1 teaspoon grated lime zest

8 to 10 thin lime slices

Instructions

1-How to Prepare the Perfect Lime Pie: Creating a delicious lime pie starts with preheating your oven, so set it to 375°F and get your workspace ready. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter until well combined, then press it firmly into a 9 x 1.5-inch deep-dish pie pan. Bake this crust for 10 minutes until it’s slightly browned, and let it cool on a wire rack.

2-Next, reduce the oven to 350°F and whisk together the two 14-ounce cans of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon grated lime zest, and ¾ cup fresh lime juice in a large bowl until smooth. Pour this filling into the warm crust and bake for 15 minutes, until it’s almost set but still a bit wobbly. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set fully.

3-For the topping, beat 1 cup cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, add 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, and continue beating until medium peaks form. Spread it over the chilled pie and garnish with 1 teaspoon grated lime zest and 8 to 10 thin lime slices. Keep the pie refrigerated until you’re ready to serve, and remember the total prep time is about 20 minutes, cook time 25 minutes, plus at least 3 hours of chilling. This step-by-step approach, including tips like using a muffin pan for individual servings, makes Lime Pie accessible for everyone.
