Favorite Summer Treat // Homemade Lime Pie

 
Hey Loves! How’s your summer going? Mine is just hot, that’s all I can say. San Diego has been reaching temperatures of 80°F – 90°F. So yeah, I’m basically melting. But I mean I guess the only reason we can thank the heat for, is inspiring me on this post. So enough ranting about the weather and let me share with you one of my favorite treats ever. Especially now, I’m super into cool desserts. It’s good to change up from your basic ice cream diet and try something that’s just as tasty and refreshing. This is my favorite lime pie recipe, trust me if you’re into fruity desserts like this, YOU GOTTA TRY IT!

Disclaimer, I know this isn’t the healthiest thing you can eat, but hey, let’s feed that sweet tooth of ours once in a while.  Not to mention, this is so quick and simple to make that you can take it to a summer party or brunch with your friends, believe me, you’ll be the star of the show with this summer treat. Well, here we go!

List of ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs 
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup of cream cheese
