1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish evenly. Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
2
Make the filling
In another bowl, whisk together key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour this mixture into the cooled crust.
3
Bake the dessert
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
4
Prepare the whipped cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
5
Serve
Once the dessert is chilled, top with whipped cream and sprinkle lime zest on top before serving. Enjoy your refreshing key lime dessert!
