Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Key lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the 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.
Step 3
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and key lime juice until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and bake for 12-15 minutes until the filling is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 6
Once the pie has chilled, prepare the whipped lime topping by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, key lime zest, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Step 7
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the set lime filling, creating the second layer.
Step 8
Optional: Garnish with additional lime zest or thin slices of key lime for decoration.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful two-layer key lime pie!
