Lime Mint Pie
Lime Mint Pie is a refreshing and zesty dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This delicious pie is made with a buttery graham cracker crust, a creamy lime and mint filling, and topped with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves.
To make this Lime Mint Pie, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Whipped cream and fresh mint leaves for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, chopped mint leaves, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Pour the filling into the baked crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
When ready to serve, top the Lime Mint Pie with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves for a beautiful and delicious presentation. The pie has a tangy and refreshing lime flavor with a subtle hint of mint that is sure to impress your guests.
This dessert can be classified as a 'Citrus Pie' and its three main ingredients are lime, mint, and graham crackers. Enjoy this Lime Mint Pie as a perfect ending to any meal or as a refreshing treat on a hot summer day.
