Key Lime Pie Ingredients

Method

Key Lime Pie Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.

  2. 2

    Bake the crust

    Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

  3. 3

    Make the filling

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, lime zest, and salt until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine and bake

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool at room temperature.

  5. 5

    Chill and serve

    Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices.
