Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, from about 12 whole graham crackers
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Two 14-oz cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk)
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
¾ cup fresh lime juice
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
8 to 10 thin lime slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 °F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter; stir with a fork first, and then your hands until the mixture is well combined. Using your fingers and the bottom of a glass or dry measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 x 1.5-inch (deep-dish) pie pan. The crust should be about ¼-inch thick. (Tip: do the sides first.)
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until just slightly browned. Let the crust cool on a wire rack.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour the thick mixture into the warm graham cracker crust. Bake for 15 minutes, until the filling is almost set; it should wobble a bit. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly, about 3 hours.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until medium peaks form. Top the pie with the whipped cream. Decorate with the lime zest and lime slices. Store the pie in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Slice the pie into wedges, wiping your knife clean between slices, and serve cold.
  • Make-Ahead Instructions: You can make the crust a day ahead of time, but the filling should be added on the day of serving, otherwise the crust will get soggy.
  • Note: The nutritional information was calculated using 2% Greek yogurt.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start making the sorbet. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this sorbet. Pour the sorbet mixture into a shallow baking dish and freeze it for 2 hours. Then, use a fork to scrape the sorbet into small pieces. Return the sorbet to the freezer and stir it every 30 minutes until it is frozen solid.
  • Serve the sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This key lime pie sorbet is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for parties or potlucks. The sorbet is also a good source of vitamin C and calcium.
