Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 0.5 cup key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices, if desired.
Slice and enjoy your Easy Delicious Key Lime Pie!
