This is such a great recipe. I made it in India with Marie biscuits and 3/4ths of the 400 grams can of condensed milk (the recipe says 2 but that sounded too much) and the balance was perfect. Also quick trick, if your limes don’t zest, soak them in water and freeze for a few hours. The firmness helps the peel zest more easily.

I love this recipe! I have made it several times and always get rave reviews and people coming back for seconds. It makes a good amount and is super easy and delicious. I don't love sweets and for me, this hits the perfect spot of sweet and salty.

Note: to get the thickening reaction with citrus and dairy, it's got to be full fat. Skim milk will curdle.

@food52 5 лет назад

That's a great point --. thanks!

@rexbeavers6746 5 лет назад

Mine never did thicken too well until It was in the fridge. Man was it tasty though!! I used Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies instead of Ritz crackers. Everyone loved it! Whole thing is eaten and gone!

A classic recipe of Mexican homes. But we make it with Maria crackers. And it also works if instead of heavy cream, you use evaporated milk. For a fancier version, add cream cheese to the mix and top each layer with candied pecans!!!

@lisac3393 5 лет назад

I made this but with lemons. I followed the recipe quantities replacing only the limes with the lemons. Absolutely delicious. The cook used a spatula to lick the bowl clean instead of sticking her face in the bowl, because she had guests. I used my lasagna dish... 8-1/2 x 13-1/2 ... it was a bit too large, so to have a third layer of ritz crackers, I topped it with a layer of whipping cream (2 cups of cream) and sprinkled it with lemon sugar. I used the tsp of lemon zest added to 1 tablespoon of sugar. I will make this again for sure.

@agnescleary2312 4 года назад

1.5 sleeves of saltine crackers crushed with 3 tbs. of sugar and enough butter to make it all clump together also works. And, btw, the reason you roll a lime or lemon on the table is to break down the cells in the citrus, thereby releasing the juice.

@Maiasatara 3 года назад

Lines (the vast majority at least) do not have seeds. So while the juice up trick works for lemons, limes don’t need it. Which is good because a reamer is going to increase yield by a significant amount.

And rolling it on the counter also helps to release more juice. Using a reamer and/or clamp juicer helps get the most out of each lemon or lime. Zest first and then squeeze the hell out of them!
