Method
Preparing the Key Lime Pie
Make the Crust
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add the key lime juice and lime zest, whisking until well combined.
Combine and Bake
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
Make the Topping
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled pie and garnish with additional lime zest.
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. Slice and enjoy your classic Key Lime Pie!
