1. Make the crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

2. Bake the crust

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Filling Preparation

3. Prepare the filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and pale. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Stir in key lime juice and lime zest until smooth.

4. Fill the crust

Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Spread evenly and smooth the top.

5. Bake the pie

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Topping Preparation

6. Make the whipped cream

In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

7. Serve

Spread whipped cream over the chilled pie and garnish with lime slices. Slice and enjoy!
