1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2
Bake the crust
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
3
Make the filling
In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Gradually add the key lime juice and mix until well combined.
4
Fill the crust
Pour the filling mixture into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
5
Bake the pie
Bake the pie in the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool at room temperature.
6
Chill
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight to set.
7
Serve
Top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with lime zest before serving.
