This Zesty Lime Delight Pie is a refreshing and light dessert, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cold water. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the pie plate for a sturdy crust.
Press the crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of the prepared pie plate.
Use the back of a spoon to smooth the crust.
In a food processor, blend the condensed milk, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, lime juice, lime rind, and sugar until smooth.
Ensure the filling is well-blended for a creamy texture.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Tap the pie plate gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the filling is set.
Check the pie halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allow the pie to cool completely before chilling.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavor and texture of the pie.
Slice and serve the pie, garnished with lime zest or whipped cream if desired.
Serve with a side of fresh fruit for added flair.
