Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

36 vanilla wafer cookies (about 4 3/4 ounces)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon grated lime peel
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 large eggs
Lime slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind vanilla wafers in processor. Add melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel; process until moist crumbs form. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Using plastic wrap as aid, press crumbs onto bottom and up sides of dish (crust will be thin). Bake just until crust begins to turn golden on edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Meanwhile, whisk condensed milk, lime juice and 1 tablespoon lime peel in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in eggs.
  • Pour filling into warm crust. Bake until filling is set, about 20 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Garnish with lime slices. Cut into wedges; serve.

I love the addition of lime zest in the crust. It really enhances the flavor of the pie.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the egg yolks in the filling with cornstarch. It worked perfectly!

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar by half next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny.

I've tried many lime pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is smooth and creamy.

I was a bit skeptical about the lime filling, but it turned out to be delicious. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

This lime pie recipe is a keeper! The filling is perfectly tart and creamy, and the graham cracker crust is the perfect complement. I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a hit.
