Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.75 cups key lime juice
• 1 tablespoon key lime zest
• 3 pieces large egg yolks
• 1 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, key lime zest, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 9

To make the whipped cream topping, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Spread or pipe the whipped cream onto the chilled pie, as desired.

Step 11

Garnish with additional lime zest, lime slices, or graham cracker crumbs for decoration.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Key Lime Pie!
