Method
Preparation
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
Make the filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
Bake the pie
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.
Prepare the topping
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Sprinkle with lime zest before serving.
