Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 14 graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 (3 oz) package cherry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice (from jar)
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 4 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Garnish: maraschino cherries and lime slices (optional)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until well-combined and moist. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze 10 minutes.
  • In another medium bowl, stir together gelatin and 1 cup boiling water until gelatin dissolves. Stir in cherry juice and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • While the gelatin is chilling, stir together lime zest, lime juice and condensed milk. Once the gelatin has cooled, stir the lime mixture into it, mixing well.
  • Pour into prepared crust and smooth out with a spatula. Carefully cover*, and refrigerate overnight.
  • To make homemade whipped cream: Use an ice cold bowl or stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment. Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to the bowl, and whisk at high speed for about 1 minute, or until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to whisk too long, or you’ll wind up with butter!
  • When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, cherries and lime slices!

Notes

*Plastic wrap will stick to the pie if it touches it. I recommend storing in something with a domed lid, or using foil and tenting the top so it doesn’t touch. However, if you use plastic wrap – or anything else – that sticks, you can just use whipped cream to cover up any imperfections!
