Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.

Pour the filling mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.

Bake the pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from oven and let it cool to room temperature.

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Add the powdered sugar and lime zest to the whipped cream. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream topping over the cooled pie, creating a smooth and even layer.

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. Slice and serve chilled, garnished with additional lime zest if desired.
