Method
Crust Preparation
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Form the Crust
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Make sure it's even and compact.
Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Fill the Crust
Pour the filling mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Filling
Bake the pie in the oven for 15 minutes until set. Remove it and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Topping Preparation
Add Lime Zest
Gently fold in the lime zest into the whipped cream for added flavor.
Top the Pie
Once the pie is set and chilled, spread the whipped cream mixture over the top of the pie before serving.
