Key Lime Pie Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the graham cracker 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 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Make the filling

    In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Gradually add key lime juice and continue to whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Bake the pie

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until completely chilled.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with key lime zest before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce for added sweetness.
