Tips:

  • For the perfect graham cracker crust, use a combination of finely crushed graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the pie plate and chill for at least 30 minutes before filling.
  • When making the lime filling, use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use 100% lime juice and not a lime-flavored drink.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start mixing it. You can also use a food processor to get a perfectly smooth filling.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use whole milk or half-and-half instead. However, the pie filling will not be as thick and creamy.
  • If you want a meringue topping, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start beating them. This will help them reach their full volume and create a fluffy, glossy meringue.
  • To prevent the meringue from weeping (releasing liquid), make sure you beat it until it is stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the beaters out of the meringue, the peaks should hold their shape.

Conclusion:

This easy lime cream pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's light and refreshing, with a creamy filling and a tangy lime flavor. The graham cracker crust adds a delicious crunch, and the meringue topping is the perfect finishing touch. With a few simple tips, you can make this pie like a pro!
