Key Lime Pie Ingredients

Method

Key Lime Pie Directions

1

Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.

2

Make the Lime Curd

In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and key lime juice until smooth. Pour the mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust.

3

Bake the Pie

Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until chilled.

4

Prepare the Berry Compote

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed berries, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the berries break down and create a sauce. Remove from heat and let cool.

5

Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

6

Assemble the Pie

Once the pie is chilled, top with whipped cream and drizzle the berry compote over the top. Serve and enjoy!
