Garnish
- Crushed crackers and lime zest
Instructions
- We start by whipping the cream until soft peaks.

- Add the lime juice, lime zest and stir well. Let this sit for 2 minutes.
- Layer the biscuits in one line at the bottom on the pie dish.
- Using an ice cream scoop dollop the cream which should be thicker now on the crackers and smooth it out.
- Add another layer of crackers and repeat with the cream. Do this one more time so you have 3 layers of crackers and cream.
- Top the pie with crushed crackers on the edge and add a little lime zest on top.
- Cover with cling wrap and place in the fired for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
- Decorate the pie as you like, I prefer using crushed crackers on the edges and lime zest on top. You can spoon it, slice it, scoop it into serving bowls/plates.
Notes
- Recipe adapted from: J. Kenji López-Alt’s Lime Cracker Cream Pie in 10 mins from Food 52’s Genius Desserts Cookbook
- You don’t have to whip the cream I just like the light texture you get from whipping it first.
- Allow the lime juice to thicken the cream for a couple of minutes before you layer up the pie, this can take a few minutes.
- Let the pie chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or else the crackers will be hard and not soften.
