No Bake Key Lime Pie with Condensed Milk

Instructions:

1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish using the back of a measuring cup until compact.
3. Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
4. Beat the room-temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer until completely smooth and devoid of lumps.
5. Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while mixing on medium speed until combined.
6. Stir in the lime zest and salt.
7. Slowly stream in the key lime juice and mix until the filling thickens and reaches a consistent, pale yellow color.
8. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until the center feels firm to a light touch.
