This Ten-Minute Lime Cracker Pie from J. Kenji López-Alt, Serious Eats’ Food Lab columnist, has the spirit of a Key lime pie and can be layered up in 10 minutes, then it's refrigerated to meld into a tart-sweet-salty-creamy icebox cake. The weird thing about it is that it's made using Ritz crackers and it totally works.

Prep: 10 mins
Yields: 8 - 10 Servings

Ingredients

2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk

2 cups heavy cream

1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest, plus more for serving

½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 8 limes)

10 ounces Ritz crackers (85 crackers, from about 3 sleeves)

Directions

1Whisk together the condensed milk and heavy cream in a large bowl until combined. Add the lime zest and juice and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute.

2Spread 1 cup of the condensed milk mixture on the bottom of a deep-dish pie plate, an 11-inch oval casserole, or a similar large shallow dish. Top with a single layer of Ritz crackers. Repeat, alternating layers of filling and crackers, until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, the longer you wait, the more the crackers will soften and meld with the filling. Serve cold, zesting more fresh lime over the top, if you like.
