Key Lime Pie Recipe

Key Lime Pie Directions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

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

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Serve

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