Key Lime Pie Recipe

Make the Pie Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set and lightly golden. Let cool.

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.

Bake the Pie

Bake the pie in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.

Serve

Once chilled, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with lime zest before serving.
