Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh key lime juice (about 10–12 key limes)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Zest of 2 key limes
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together lime juice and sweetened condensed milk until warm. Gradually add whisked egg yolks while constantly stirring to prevent curdling. Cook on low heat until thickened (about 10 minutes). Stir in lime zest, cover, and chill.
- In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In a large glass bowl or individual cups, layer graham cracker crumbs, lime curd, and whipped cream. Repeat layers until filled. Top with additional whipped cream and garnish with lime slices or zest.
- Chill before serving to allow flavors to meld.
