Pie Ingredients

Method

Pie Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared crust.

  3. 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 oven and let cool to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to ensure it sets properly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Top the chilled pie with whipped topping and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving. Slice and enjoy!
