Ingredients
- 1 9 Inch prepared graham cracker crust
- 2 8 Ounces (oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 14 Ounces (oz) cans low-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 Cup key lime juice
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lime zest, grated
- 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
- 1 Cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract

Steps
- Prepare Lime Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Whip until the mixture is smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
- Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar. Continue to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks.
- Drain the Topping: Place the whipped cream topping in a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl to catch any liquid that drains off. Cover the topping tightly with plastic wrap and allow it to drain for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Assemble the Pie: Before serving, discard any liquid that has drained from the topping. Spread the whipped cream topping evenly over the chilled pie.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pie and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.
