Key Lime Pie Ingredients
Method
Key Lime Pie Directions
Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. 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, or until golden. Let it cool.
Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
Bake the Pie
Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
Make the Whipped Cream
In a medium bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add lime zest and mix until combined.
Serve
Top the chilled pie with the whipped cream before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional lime zest or lime slices.
