How to Make Limeade Pie With Graham Nut Crust

  1. **Toast Pecans:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1 cup pecan halves in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely.
  2. **Make Crust:** In a food processor, pulse 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs until fine. Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and the toasted pecans. Pulse to combine.
  3. **Add Butter:** Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. **Press into Pan:** Press the crust mixture firmly into a 13 ½ x 4 ¼ inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. **Cool Crust:** Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. **Make Filling:** In a food processor, beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and beat until combined.
  7. **Add Lime:** Add the zest of 3 limes and the juice of 4 limes. Pulse until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. **Fill Crust:** Pour the lime filling into the cooled crust. Gently spread evenly.
  9. **Chill:** Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap, inserting toothpicks around the edges to prevent sticking. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  10. **Serve:** Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with lime wedges and extra pecans, if desired.
