Ingredients
  

For the graham cracker crust:

  • 2 cups graham crackers crumbs (or any plain biscuit) 6oz/170g
  • 3/4 cup butter (melted) 6oz/170g

For the filling:

  • 1 can condensed milk, sweetened 14oz/398g
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream 2 1/2floz/71ml
  • 1 cup cream cheese 8oz/225g
  • 1/2 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed) 4floz/115ml
  • zest of 3 limes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for decorating

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the graham cracker crust by mixing the melted butter with the graham crumbs until you've reached the texture of wet sand.
  • Transfer the crust mixture into your pie pan and press down using your fingertips. Use a small bowl or cup to push the crumbs up to the side of the tin. This will form an even crust.
  • Once the graham mixture has been pressed into the tin place it in the fridge to set for roughly 30 minutes. Note: If you want to be able to remove your pie from the dish to serve then line your pie tin with 2 layers of cling wrap. This will ensure you can easily remove the pie crust from the tin.
  • While the crust is setting make the key lime filling: First juice 1/2 cup of fresh limes using the GoodCook Zester/Juicer.
  • In a large bowl whip the cream cheese, condensed milk, whipping cream, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Whip for roughly 4-5 minutes until it firms up. Don't worry if your mix is not really firm as it will set up in the fridge overnight.
  • Remove the pie crust from the fridge and fill it with the filling mixture. Return to the fridge and allow to set for a minimum of 5 hours but preferably overnight. As there is no setting agent, it needs a long time in the fridge.
  • Once set, fit a GoodCook piping bag with a nozzle then fill with whipped cream. For this, I suggest using the Sweet Creations Cupcake Decorating Kit (12 Pieces). Decorate your pie with whipped cream and slices of lime and enjoy!
  • This pie can be kept covered and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
