Utensils & Equipment

  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 spoon or spatula
  • 1 set of measuring spoons

Ingredients List

  • 1 graham cracker crust (or refrigerated/frozen crust)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 14 ounces sweetened, condensed milk
  • 1 cup pecans finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup lime juice (preferably key lime juice)
  • 1 egg large

Instructions

Prepare The Crust & Cream Cheese

  • If using a refrigerated or frozen crust, bake the crust as directed on the package then lower the oven temp to 375℉.
  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This will help soften the cream cheese even faster.
  • Chop the pecans into smaller pieces, leave them as is, or chop some and leave the others as is. It's up to you!!

Prepare The Key Lime Filling

  • In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer starting on slow speed then increasing to medium. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly beat in the sweetened condensed milk and egg. Once blended add the vanilla extract and lime juice.
  • Pour or spoon the cream cheese mixture into the crust.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the filling.

Bake

  • Bake at 375℉ for 25 to 30 minutes or until the center of the pie is set.
