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, freshly squeezed
• 3 units large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon lime zest, finely grated
• 1 cups whipped cream (for topping, optional)
• 0 as needed lime slices or zest (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the filling mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the oven for 7 minutes, just until the filling is set but still slightly jiggles in the center.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Before serving, top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with lime slices or extra lime zest.

Step 11

Slice and serve chilled for the best flavor!
