Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- Zest of 2 limes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of crushed graham crackers with ½ cup of melted butter and ¼ cup of sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of coconut cream, 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and ½ cup of freshly squeezed lime juice. Mix until smooth and well combined. The mixture should become thick as the lime juice interacts with the cream.
- Don’t forget to add the zest of 2 limes for an extra burst of flavor! Gently fold it into the filling mixture.
- Pour the filling into your cooled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
- When you’re ready to serve, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add a tablespoon of sugar and a splash of vanilla extract, then whip until stiff peaks form.
- Top the pie with the whipped cream and garnish with toasted coconut flakes or lime slices if desired. Slice and enjoy your refreshing Coconut Lime Icebox Pie!

Keywords: For a better texture, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream. If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk or add more lime juice for a tangier flavor.
