INGREDIENTS
1 2/3 cups
almonds (blanched or un-blanched), ground to a fine powder in a blender or food processor (be careful not to over-process or you’ll end up with almond butter!)
3 tbsp
butter, melted
3 tbsp
sugar
1 14 ounce can
sweetened condensed milk
1
block cream cheese, room temperature (room temp is important so the filling isn’t lumpy)
1/2 cup
key lime juice, fresh or bottled
2 tsp
fresh lime zest
1 cup
heavy or whipping cream
3 tbsp
powdered sugar
1
lime, sliced and zested, optional
