    8 oz cream cheese, 14 oz sweet condensed milk, 1/2 cup key lime juice, 1 tbsp lime zest
  • In a separate large or medium bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Pour the whipped cream over the cream cheese mixture and gently fold to combine.

  • Once you're ready to serve it, you can serve it as is but I like to make whipped cream by whipping the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until stiff peaks form. Pipe it around the edges, decorate with lime slices or lime zest and serve imediatlely.
    3/4 cup heavy cream , 1 & 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Notes

For a no cream cheese version, omit the cream cheese and use 2 cups heavy cream in the filling. The pie will be lighter and needs an overnight chill.
