Method
Crust Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the 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 cool.
Filling Preparation
- 2
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, key lime juice, key lime zest, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly.

Bake the Pie
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to chill and set completely.
Topping Preparation
- 4
Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.

Top the Pie
Once the pie is fully chilled, spread the whipped cream over the top. Decorate with lime slices for garnish. Slice and serve cold.
