Key Lime Pie Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  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 well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

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

  3. 3

    Bake the Pie

    Bake the pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and garnish with lime wedges before serving.
