Key Lime Pie Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Bake the Crust

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Filling and Pour

    Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pie

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once chilled, top with whipped cream and lime zest. Garnish with lime slices if desired. Slice and serve cold.
