Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
- 1 teaspoons lime zest (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cups whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and Key lime juice until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the filling is just set and slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set completely.
Optionally, garnish the pie with lime zest and dollops of whipped cream before serving.
Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing treat!
