Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the crumbs and butter in a large bowl and press into a 9 inch (non-deep dish) or small disposable pie tin.
Set the pie shell on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice and lime zest. Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust, then return to the oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes. The filling should not brown. in fact, it won't look like it did anything!
Remove from oven and let cool for about an hour at room temperature. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
At some point during the chill time, prepare the whipped cream. Whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks just start to form, then beat in the sugar and vanilla. Pipe the whipping cream decoratively around the edges.
