Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Filling:
- 14 oz lowfat sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 ozs light cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 2 tsp lime zest
- 1/4 cup sugar
Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F Spray a 9-inch pie plate with vegetable spray.
2. Make crust: in a bowl, stir together the graham crumbs, sugar, water and oil until mixed. Pat the mixture onto the bottom and up the side of a prepared pan.
3. Make filling: in a food processor, combine the condensed milk, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, lime juice and rind, and sugar; purée the mixture until it is smooth. Pour it into the crust.
4. Place the pan in the centre of the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or just until the filling is set. Let the pan cool on a wire rack.
5. Chill before serving.
Really quite good! And very easy to put together. Sweet, but sugar is tempered by the lime. Not a traditional key lime pie given the cream cheese.
