Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• 0.5 cups key lime juice
• 1 tbsp lime zest
• 1 cup whipped cream, for garnish
• 1 whole lime lime slices, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.

Step 3

Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks until well combined.

Step 7

Slowly add the key lime juice while whisking, then stir in the lime zest.

Step 8

Pour the lime filling into the pre-baked graham cracker crust.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the oven for 15 minutes. The filling should be set, but it may still wobble slightly in the center.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 11

Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

Step 12

Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream and lime slices.

Slice and enjoy your refreshing Key Lime Pie!
