LIME PIE
I looked through every lime pie recipe listed here, and can't find one similar, so decided to post this. My mom won first place in the cream pie category at a cook off in their retirement community in Texas. I think the cream cheese gives it just that bit of difference.

Tips:
- For a smoother pie filling, use a food processor or blender to mix the cream cheese, lime juice, sugar, and sour cream until completely smooth.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mix the filling ingredients by hand. Just be sure to mix them until well combined and smooth.
- For a graham cracker crust that is extra crispy, bake it for a few minutes longer than the recipe calls for.
- To make a lime zest garnish, simply use a zester to grate the zest of a lime over the top of the pie.
- If you don't have a zester, you can use a fine cheese grater to grate the zest of a lime.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy filling and crispy graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
