Bake the Pie
Pour the key lime filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until the filling is set. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully chilled.

Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add ice water until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
