This recipe offers a speedy alternative to a classic key lime pie, requiring no baking. It layers a rich, tangy lime filling with buttery crackers for texture. The pie needs to chill overnight to set properly, making it an ideal dessert to prepare in advance. Fresh lime zest adds a final aromatic touch before serving.

10-Minute Lime Pie

Ingredients

  • 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup lime juice, plus
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest, from 8 limes
  • 70 Ritz crackers (about 35 crackers per sleeve)

Method

  1. Place the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Pour in the lime juice and whisk the mixture for about 1 minute until it thickens.
  3. Spoon roughly 1 cup of the prepared filling to cover the base of a deep-dish pie plate.
  4. Arrange a single layer of Ritz crackers over the filling.
  5. Continue building layers, alternating between the lime filling and crackers until the plate is full. End with a layer of filling, stirring half of the lime zest into this final portion.
  6. Scatter the rest of the grated lime zest over the top.
  7. Place the pie in the refrigerator to set overnight. Store it chilled until you are ready to serve.
