Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cup whipping cream (optional, for topping)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for whipped cream)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press firmly for an even layer.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.

Step 6

Bake the pie for 15 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully chilled.

Step 7

While the pie is chilling, prepare the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and water.

Step 8

Cook the mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Remove the raspberry sauce from heat. Optionally, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, then let it cool to room temperature.

Step 10

If desired, prepare whipped cream by beating the whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 11

To serve, slice the chilled key lime pie and drizzle raspberry sauce on top or on the side. Add a dollop of whipped cream, if using, for a finishing touch.
