Key Lime Pie Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the crust

   In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar together until combined.

2. 2

   Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Add the melted butter to the graham cracker mixture and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

3. 3

   Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4. 4

   Make the filling

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.

5. 5

   Add the key lime juice and zest to the mixture and whisk until fully combined.

6. 6

   Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread it evenly.

7. 7

   Bake the pie

   Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.

9. 9

   Serve

   Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices.
