Ingredients for 10 Minute Lime Pie

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Heavy Cream
  • ¾ cup fresh lime juice (about 6-8 limes) OR 1 cup bottled lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • Ritz Crackers

How to Make 10 Minute Lime Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs until smooth.
  5. Pour the lime mixture over the baked crust.
  6. Bake for 8-10 more minutes, or until the filling is just set. The center may still be slightly jiggly.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to fully set.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream and lime zest before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
