Key Lime Pie Recipe

Prepare the crust

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

Make the filling

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

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 the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Prepare the chantilly cream

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in the lime zest gently.

Make the lime coulis

In a small saucepan, combine the juice from the fresh limes and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow to cool before serving.

Serve

Once the pie has chilled, slice it and serve with a dollop of chantilly cream and a drizzle of lime coulis.
