Key Lime Pie Recipe

Filling

1. 1

   Prepare the Pie Crust

   In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

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

3. 3

   Bake the Pie

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

4. 4

   Serve

   Once set, slice the pie and serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream and lime slices if desired.
