ABOUT No-bake Lime Cracker Pudding RECIPE

Sweet, creamy, tangy, slightly salty and absolutely decadent no-bake pudding with just 4 ingredients! This is the perfect make-ahead easy dessert to share with friends and family at any occasion!!!

Ingredients Serving: 10

2 cans condensed milk (400 gm can)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Salt Crackers (Ritz or Monaco/Krackjack/Parle salt biscuits); about 60 to 80 crackers depending upon the size of the crackers
Juice of 4 to 6 limes (about ½ cup), if you cannot get lime, use lemons instead
Zest of 2 limes/lemons
Mint leaves for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

Combine condensed milk, cream and lime juice in a chilled bowl.
Beat with a hand mixer until slightly thickened. This could take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Alternatively, beat chilled heavy cream with your beater until thick and fluffy. Gently fold in lime juice, lime zest (leave some for garnishing) and condensed milk. Mix well.
Take a wide dessert dish and start layering the pudding and crackers . Spoon a little of the pudding mixture on the bottom of the dish; gently place salt crackers over the pudding in a single layer to cover fully.
Layer some more pudding over the crackers and alternate layering crackers and filling until the pan is full and the top layer is pudding. Sprinkle some more lime/lemon zest over it.
Cover well and refrigerate or chill for at least 6 hours or best overnight! Garnish with mint leaves (optional).
The longer you let it set, the softer the crackers become. They soak up the sweet pudding to get a lovely, soft, cake like texture. This actually tones down the sweetness of the pudding to a decadent sweet, salty, tangy divine dessert!
Serve chilled in your favorite dessert bowls/glasses or plates. Enjoy!!
