Description
This Key Lime Pie VII is a quick and creamy dessert that blends sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and lime juice in a graham cracker crust. It’s tangy, smooth, and refreshingly light—perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5–8 minutes, just until tiny bubbles begin to appear and pop on the surface. Do not brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with whipped cream and lime slices before serving.
Notes
- Use regular lime juice if Key lime juice is unavailable—add extra zest for brightness.
- Chill for several hours or overnight for a firmer set and deeper flavor.
- Make your own crust with crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a pinch of salt.
