INGREDIENTS:

White Chocolate Key Lime Pie Filling:

  • 8 oz package cream cheese, softened

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

  • 3 oz white chocolate, melted

  • 1 tsp lime zest

  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tbsp confectioner’s sugar

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 10 graham crackers ground

  • 5 tbsp butter, melted

  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar, packed

DIRECTIONS:

  • Puree cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a food processor (fitted with a metal blade) until smooth.  Add melted white chocolate and lime juice and pulse until smooth.  Stir in lime zest.

  • Meanwhile, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl.  Press crumb mixture into a greased 9-inch pie plate, covering bottom and sides.  Chill crust until firm.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake crust for 10 minutes.  Remove and let cool.

  • Place filling into cooled pie shell and refrigerate for 3-4 hours until firm.

  • Using an electric mixer, whip cream and confectioner’s sugar, until stiff peaks form.  Spread whipped cream over pie and garnish with white chocolate curls.
