Key Lime Pie
Method
Key Lime Pie Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.

Make the filling
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and key lime zest. Mix until smooth.

Assemble and bake
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
