Preparation

Step 1

Pour heavy cream into a 4-cup measuring cup; whisk in sweetened condensed milk and salt. Whisk in the lime juice until thickened, 1-2 minutes.

Spread 1/2 cup of the filling on bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Top with a single layer of Ritz crackers. Continue alternating layers of filling and crackers, ending with filling on top. (You should have about 3 layers of crackers.) Sprinkle grated zest over the top.

Refrigerate at least 4 hours, but longer is better.

To serve, cut into wedges and garnish with flaked coconut, if desired.
