Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Eagle Brand milk, lime juice, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into two graham cracker crusts.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
- Garnish with lime slices and refrigerate before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh lime juice instead of bottled. If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can add a bit of sugar to the mixture before baking. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust. If you want to experiment, you can try adding a hint of coconut for a tropical twist that pairs beautifully with Cherry Jewels.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled for the best flavor and texture. Garnish with additional lime slices or whipped cream for an elegant touch. This pie pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh fruit. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad or a classic American recipe like Quick Chuck Roast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy it later, simply serve chilled. Avoid freezing the pie, as the texture may change after thawing. If the pie has been garnished with lime slices, it's best to remove them before storing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can substitute the Eagle Brand milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free version. However, keep in mind that this may alter the flavor slightly. Adjust the amount of lime juice to taste, as the sweetness level may differ.
How long can I keep the pie in the fridge?
The pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to cover it well to prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge. It’s best served within this timeframe for freshness and optimal flavor.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance. Just make sure to refrigerate it after baking and allow it to chill before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld, enhancing the overall taste of the pie.
