Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 14-ounce cans Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cups Key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
- 4 units Egg yolks
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to smooth and compact the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the filling into the baked crust and spread it evenly.
Bake the pie in the oven for 15 minutes. The filling will set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Before serving, optionally top the pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest for garnish.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your easy Key Lime Pie!
