Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 3
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create an even crust.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, Key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Step 8
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.
Step 9
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie as desired.
