Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

  2. 2

    Bake the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and lime zest. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

  2. 4

    Fill the Crust

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

  3. 5

    Cool the Pie

    Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Berry Coulis

  1. 6

    Prepare the Coulis

    In a small saucepan, combine the fresh mixed berries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the berries break down and the mixture begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Blend and Strain

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 8

    Garnish the Pie

    Once the pie is set, top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices.

  2. 9

    Serve the Pie

    Slice the pie and serve each piece with a drizzle of berry coulis on the plate.
