Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• 0.5 cups fresh Key lime juice
• 2 teaspoons Key lime zest
• 1 cups whipped cream (for topping)
• 0 as desired lime slices or zest (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, freshly squeezed Key lime juice, and Key lime zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

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 let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice and enjoy!
