OK so when I made this I was in the mood for something light and fluffy. It was Sunday so I wasn't about to go to the store and I couldn't find a recipe that used the ingredients that I had. Since desperation is the mother of invention. I borrowed a pie plate from my neighbor, since mine have all been thrown away and later took my creation over to share and get a second opinion. It got good reviews. So here you go. I hope that you enjoy it as much as everyone said they did here. There will be extra filling. I grabbed 5 custard dishes and made some more crust and divided the leftover among the custard dishes for individual servings. You could also make a second pie if you prefer. Just double the recipe for crust.
Ingredients:
crust
10 cinnamon honey graham crackers
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
filling
2 1/2 8 oz packages cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup lime juice
topping
1/2 8 oz package cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
2 T vanilla
1/4 cup of milk
Directions:
In a food processor chop graham crackers until small and grainy(You can also do this by hand if you don't have a food processor). Add sugar and butter and pulse till mixed. Dump into a 9" pie plate and press to form crust.
Next I used my Kitchen Aid mixer with the whisk attachment. You can use a hand mixer for this however make sure the cream cheese has been softened first or it can burn out the hand mixer motor. In the Kitchen Aid cream the 2 1/2 packages of cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar on medium high(about 7 or 8 speed). Next slowly add the sweetened condensed milk while mixer is going. Once thoroughly mixed add lime juice slowly, continuing on a 7-8 speed setting. Once all ingredients are added. Stop machine and scrape sides. Once sides are scraped mix on medium high for 2 minutes. Once finished turn off machine and spread mixer into crust.
Last in a bowl I creamed the 1/2 package of cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar with a hand mixer. Next I added the vanilla and mixed well. Finally I added the milk slowly. Once completely mixed I put it into a Ziploc bag and cut a corner and piped topping around the edge of pie and onto center of pie.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Enjoy!
