Instructions for Blake Lively’s key lime pie recipe

  1. To make Blake Lively’s key lime pie recipe, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Then, pulse the graham crackers in a food processor to a coarse mixture. Remove it and move it to a bowl.
  3. Now, take the macadamia nuts and grind them in the processor.
  4. Then add about 3-4 tablespoons of the ground nuts to the graham crackers mixture and mix. Taste the mixture. Add more if needed.
  5. Add the butter to the mixture and mix them together for a sand-like texture.
  6. Add egg and a pinch of salt to the mixture and mix. Make sure the mixture is not too moist. If it is moist, add more ground graham crackers to the mix for the perfect consistency.
  7. Once mixed, pour the mixture into a pie pan and spread it around, covering the edges as well.
  8. Transfer the pie pan to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust turns golden.
  9. Once baked, transfer it to the freezer for about 20 minutes to cool it down completely.
  10. Meanwhile, make the filling for the key lime pie recipe. To do this, whip the cream until it is light and airy.
  11. In another bowl, take the cold whip and blend in the vanilla pudding mix and sweet condensed milk. Divide this mixture into two bowls.
  12. Then squeeze the lime and lemon and pour its juice into one cold whip bowl. Add in some lemon and lime zest as well.
  13. Fold in some whipped cream in another cold whip bowl until it becomes “like whipped of a texture.” Keep aside. Your filling is now ready.
  14. The “It Ends With Us” star noted the pie will have “levels from most potent to least potent,” so pour the cold whip mixture with lemon zest at the bottom for assembling. The middle layer will be a mixture of cold whip and whipped cream. The final layer will be your whipped cream.
  15. Lastly, garnish the key lime pie recipe with lime slices and freeze it for a few hours before cutting. The “It Ends With Us” actor recommends freezing it overnight if possible.

There you have it, Blake Lively’s key lime pie recipe is ready for your dessert time. However, process the nuts and crackers separately in batches to ensure they are light, fluffy, and not oily.
