Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk (La Lechera)
- 0.5 cups Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest, finely grated
- 3 units Egg yolks
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 3 units Lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to ensure an even layer. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and egg yolks until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the lime filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Before serving, optionally top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices for decoration.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Lime Pie La Lechera!
