Ingredients for Key Lime Pie with Graham Cracker Crust and Chocolate Ganache Center
Method
Directions for Preparation
Make the Graham Cracker Crust
Bake the pie for 15-18 minutes, until the filling is set but not browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
While the pie is chilling, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and fully combined. Allow the ganache to cool slightly.
Assemble the Pie
Once the key lime pie is set and chilled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top, spreading it evenly. Return the pie to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
Serve
Once the ganache is set, slice the pie and serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest on top. Enjoy!
