Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Мethod of preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, melted butter, and sugar together, pressing the mixture into the bottom of a lined baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes until set. While the crust cools, whisk sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest together. Pour this filling over the cooled crust and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread this whipped cream over the chilled lime layer and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes before serving. This dessert is not just a feast for the taste buds but a visual treat as well, embodying the joy and abundance of tropical flavors.
