Ingredients
  

  • Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk (one 14-ounce can per dessert is common)
  • Graham crackers (for crusts and bars)
  • Unsalted butter
  • Egg yolks (for classic key lime or lemon pies)
  • Fresh lime or lemon juice and zest
  • Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • Shredded coconut
  • Crushed nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Heavy cream (for no-churn ice cream or whipped toppings)
  • Marshmallows or mini marshmallows (for fudge-style treats)
  • Sea salt (for caramel and chocolate recipes)
  • Fresh berries (optional, for garnishes)

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust: Crush 1 1/2 cups graham crackers and mix with 6 tablespoons melted butter and a pinch of salt. Press into a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Blind bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly.
  • Mix the filling: Whisk 1 can condensed milk, 3 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup fresh lime or lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon zest until smooth.
  • Fill and bake: Pour into crust. Bake 10–12 minutes until tiny bubbles appear at the edges and the center jiggles slightly.
  • Chill: Cool to room temp, then refrigerate at least 3 hours. Top with lightly sweetened whipped cream and extra zest.
  • Prep the pan: Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment.
  • Crust: Combine 2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup melted butter and a pinch of salt. Press into the pan.
  • Layer: Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup shredded coconut, and 1 cup chopped nuts over the crust.
  • Pour: Drizzle 1 can condensed milk evenly over the top, covering as much surface as possible.
  • Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–28 minutes, until edges are golden and the center is set.
  • Cool and cut: Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
  • Whip: Beat 2 cups cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
  • Fold: In a separate bowl, mix 1 can condensed milk with 1 tablespoon vanilla and a pinch of salt. Gently fold whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until smooth.
  • Freeze: Pour into a loaf pan. Cover and freeze 6 hours or overnight. Add chocolate swirls, crushed cookies, or fruit before freezing if you like.
