I’m just going to go ahead and get this song in your head because you’re going to be singing it before the end of this post…”You put de lime in the coconut…” My Frozen Coconut Lime Pie will have you dancing in the kitchen and singing that song all day long. It is hands down, my favorite frozen pie! Creamy lime filling in a coconut graham cracker crust…absolute heaven!
My mother-in-law made a version of this years ago and I fell in love! It quickly became my go-to summer dessert. One of my favorite flavor combos is coconut and lime so I started thinking of a way to incorporate coconut into the recipe. The crust! I decided to add coconut to the crust and it took this pie to another level! The coconut gets nice and toasty with the graham cracker crust in the oven. It adds the perfect amount of coconut!
Let’s Make the Frozen Coconut Lime Pie
Here is the entire “cast of characters.” It’s hard to believe that 8 simple ingredients turn into the most mouthwatering frozen pie ever!
Let’s start with the crust which is a classic graham cracker mixture with the addition of coconut.
3 Ingredient Filling
The filling only has 3 ingredients! Three! Limes, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy whipping cream. Also, if you don’t have a microplane for zesting and a good manual juicer, get them! I use both all of the time.
First, combine lime juice, lime zest, and sweetened condensed milk. Then, whip one cup of heavy cream and fold in.
Pour the creamy lime mixture into the cooled pie crust and freeze. That’s it! The only thing left to do is make more whipped cream for serving.
It’s the most refreshing, silky smooth, tangy, sweet pie ever! Frozen Coconut Lime Pie is perfect for summer but I make it all year long because, well, I crave it all the time! You’re going to love it!
