1
Make the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. 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.
2
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
3
Bake the Pie
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
4
Make the Topping
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
5
Serve
Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious key lime pie!
