Easy No-Bake Gluten Free Key Lime Pie

Ingredient List:

For the full list of ingredients and amounts, please go to the recipe card below.

1. Gluten Free Graham Crackers – There are several brands, and they will work well. I do recommend not using cinnamon-flavored.
2. Nut Flour – This can be omitted, and use more graham crackers if you are nut-free. I used hazelnut flour, but almond flour is also great.
3. Butter – Use unsalted butter.
4. Cream Cheese – I used full-fat cream cheese. This helps give the pie its creamy texture. I have not tested using the low-fat or vegan cream cheese brands. Be sure your cream cheese is at room temperature.
5. Sweetened Condensed Milk – You can use either regular or coconut condensed milk in this gluten free key lime pie recipe. (Note: coconut condensed milk is made with coconut milk and has a slightly different flavor.)
6. Limes – Use key limes if you can find them or ordinary limes. Sometimes it is hard to find fresh key limes. Bottled lime or key lime juice is also acceptable, but you will get more flavor when you can use key lime zest as well.

Step 1: The first step is to crush your graham crackers. For best results, you can do this in two different ways.

First, you can crush them in a food processor. Place the graham crackers into the food processor and grind them until they are finely chopped. Second, place the graham crackers in a zipper bag and crush them into crumbs with a rolling pin.

You can also buy gluten free graham cracker crumbs.

Step 2: Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a large mixing bowl. Melt your butter in a microwave-safe dish. Pour the melted butter into the crumbs and mix well to coat the crumbs in the butter.

Step 3: Pour the crumb mixture into a greased pie pan. You can use a regular pie pan or a disposable one. Note: I used spray coconut oil in my pan.

Step 6: Pour the pie filling into the gluten free graham cracker crust. Use a spoon to spread the filling evenly.

Step 7: Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours to chill. You can also freeze the pie if you prefer a frozen dessert. Garnish with whipped cream or lime slices.

This pie will keep fresh for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. It should be covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.This key lime pie can also be frozen, which we love to do on hot summer days. Cover it and place it in the freezer for 2-3 hours.
