Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Key lime juice, freshly squeezed (or bottled)
• 0.25 cups Sour cream
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 1 cups Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Do not overbake.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.

Step 9

Top with whipped cream before slicing, if desired, and garnish with extra lime zest or lime slices for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy!
