Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

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

  3. 3

    Bake the Pie

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

  4. 4

    Make the Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the pie is set, top with whipped cream before serving. Enjoy!
