Filling and Crust
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Make the filling
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and lime zest until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.

Combine and bake
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Serve
Top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices if desired. Cut into slices and enjoy your homemade key lime pie!
