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.

Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk into the large bowl of the stand mixer and fold it in by hand.
