Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.33 cups Butter (melted)
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 Egg yolks
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice
- 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, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and key lime juice until smooth and well combined.
Pour the lime filling into the slightly cooled graham cracker crust.
Bake the pie in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with lime zest before serving, if desired.
Slice and enjoy your Easy Key Lime Pie!
