Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Pour this mixture into the baked crust.
- Bake again for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- For the topping, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the chilled pie before serving.
Notes
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Use fresh key limes for the best flavor and chill the pie for at least 3 hours to help the filling set.
