Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

36 vanilla wafer cookies (about 4 3/4 ounces)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon grated lime peel
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 large eggs
Lime slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind vanilla wafers in processor. Add melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel; process until moist crumbs form. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Using plastic wrap as aid, press crumbs onto bottom and up sides of dish (crust will be thin). Bake just until crust begins to turn golden on edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Meanwhile, whisk condensed milk, lime juice and 1 tablespoon lime peel in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in eggs.
  • Pour filling into warm crust. Bake until filling is set, about 20 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Garnish with lime slices. Cut into wedges; serve.

Crust was buttery and flaky, filling was light and creamy.

Squeeze of lemon juice added some brightness and cut through the sweetness of the filling.

Followed the recipe exactly. Filling was too runny.

I used key limes and it was fantastic. The flavor was much more intense than with regular limes.

Crust was too crumbly. Would be good if I could figure out how to make the crust sturdier.

Very refreshing. I added a little bit of whipped cream on top and it was perfect.

Followed the recipe to a T. Filling was too tart, almost bitter. Perhaps key limes would have been a better choice.

This lime pie was a hit! The filling was perfectly tart and creamy, and the graham cracker crust was delicious. I would definitely make this again.
