Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.75 cups Key lime juice
• 3 Egg yolks
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 2 teaspoons Lime zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press the crumbs down smoothly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the lime filling into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the oven for 10-12 minutes, just until the filling is set. It should jiggle slightly in the center but not be liquidy.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.

Step 9

Before serving, optionally top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle lime zest for garnish.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy this refreshing dessert!
