1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2
Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
3
Make the Filling
In another bowl, whisk together the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth and well blended.
4
Bake the Pie
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
5
Chill
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
6
Serve
Garnish with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
