    Why this key lime dessert works

    • Just 5 ingredients
    • Perfect no bake dessert for summer
    • Impressive dessert that is full of flavor and tartness

    Ingredients

    • heavy whipping cream
    • sweetened condensed milk
    • key lime juice ( I use Nellies from Key west)
    • lime
    • 9-inch graham cracker crust (regular, not deep dish, though deep dish will work as well)

    How to make frozen key lime pie with sweetened condensed milk

    To make this no bake frozen key lime pie, place heavy whipping cream in the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. This can also be done with a hand blender with whisk attachment, but it will take much longer. Blend the cream for 4 minutes on low speed and adjust the speed going up to 6 as it gets thicker. Once it resembles whipped topping, then it is ready.
