Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth and creamy.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is just set (it should jiggle slightly in the center).
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Top with whipped cream and garnish with lime zest, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
