Today I wanted to share one of my favorite no bake pie recipes. This pie is so easy to make that you will almost feel like you are cheating. I've made this pie several times, most recently for my mother in law's birthday on 4th of July. The picture shown below is the one I made for one of my friend's shower. This pie is very similar to the traditional Mexican dessert called Pie de Limon. However, this one comes with a twist and it tastes much better in my opinion.
Ingredients:
Juice of 6 limes (Approx. 1/2 cup of lime juice)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (La Lechera)
1 can of evaporate milk
1 bar of cream cheese (8 oz)
3 packages of maria cookie wafers (Galletas maria)
Fruit of choice (I chose slices fresh strawberries and blueberries for this pie but you can use any fruit you like canned or fresh)
Springform cake pan or pan of choice (I used a springform pan for the pie you see in the photo above)
***You may double the recipe depending on how many servings you need.
Directions
1. Squeeze enough juice out of the limes to obtain 1/2 cup of lime juice (you may use bottled lime juice but I prefer freshly squeezed)
2. In a blender, blend the cream cheese until smooth. Add the evaporated and condensed milk.
3. Once blended, add the lime juice and blend a bit more (do not skip this part otherwise it won't be creamy)
4. On your pan of choice, add a thin layer of your cream mixture then layer it with cookies.
5. Once you have your first layer of cookies, top them with a layer of the cream mixture.
6. Continue with a layer of fruit.
7. Add another of layer, cream, fruit. Repeat until you either ran out of the cream mixture or cookies. Or you have reached the desired height of the pie.
8. Once you have reached the final top layer, decorate with fruit and toppings of choice.
9. Refrigerate overnight (or at least for a few hours so the cookie wafers can soften).
Enjoy!!
