Let's get started!

Prepare the crust

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the graham crumbs, light brown sugar and melted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Take a handful of the pie crust and pat down on the bottom and sides of the pie pan.
  4.  Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.

Make the filling

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the condensed milk and mix until well combined.
  4. Slowly add the egg yolks and mix again.
  5. Pour the lime juice into the mixture and mix until well combined.
  6. Add 1 drop of green food coloring.
  7. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake for another 8-10 minutes. The pie should not be completely firm and would jiggle when lightly shaken.
  8. Let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  9. Place in the fridge to chill for an hour and half.

Time to decorate!

  1. Take your lime and use a knife to cut wedges. You will need 5 wedges.
  2. Place the 5 limes in a circle leaving some room in the middle.
  3. Add a dollop of whipped cream in the center.
  4. Squeeze an outline of whipped cream around the pie crust area.
