Ingredients

2 14-oz. cans sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 Tbsp. finely grated lime zest, plus more for sprinkling on top as a garnish
1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice, or Nellie and Joe's Famous Key Lime Juice
10 oz. Ritz crackers, about 85 crackers from about 3 sleeves

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and the heavy cream until well combined. Add lime juice and zest and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute.
Spread one cup of the mixture in the bottom of an 11-inch oval casserole dish or a deep dish pie plate. Top with a layer of Ritz crackers (as pictured above). Repeat, alternating the layers of the filling and the crackers until your dish is full, ending with a layer of filling.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. I refrigerated mine overnight. The longer you refrigerate the more the crackers will soften and meld with the creamy filling. Serve it cold with some added lime zest sprinkled on top for garnish.

Notes

The recipe calls for Ritz crackers, but I've also substituted Townhouse crackers on occasion.

You can use fresh key lime juice and zest if you can find them. If not, you can use Nellie and Joe's Famous Key West Lime Juice and regular lime zest. You can find Nellie and Joe's at your market in either the baking aisle or the juice aisle.
