Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine and bake

    Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the pie and top with whipped cream before serving.
