Add the melted butter. It should be warm melted butter, not hot. Mix into the crumbs evenly and then press the crumb mixture into the pie pan to cover the sides and bottom. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
8 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
Combine the cream cheese, condensed milk, sugar, lime juice, and lime zest into a large mixing bowl. Blend with a hand mixer (or a food processor) until smooth and creamy. Pour into the prepared crumb pie shell. Refrigerate for 4 hours.

Garnish with whip cream, Cool Whip, or Ready Whip stars. Slice a few thin slices of lime, dry them off, and decorate the pie top with them. Serve!

Notes

Use your food processor to quickly make your crumbs.
A simple stabilizer for whip cream is 2 tablespoon of sour cream per 8 oz of heavy cream. Blend it into the whip cream before pouring it into the aerosol dispenser or whipping it with a hand mixer.
