Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker or chocolate biscuit crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup warm water (for dissolving gelatin)
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan. Chill for 20 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and sugar. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Dissolve gelatin in warm water, let cool slightly, and mix into the lime filling.
  5. Optional: divide the filling and add green food coloring to half for a layered effect.
  6. Pour alternating layers into the chilled crust to create a striped look. Tap pan to smooth layers.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  8. Slice with a hot knife and serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream or mint if desired.
