Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 cup Low sodium plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup Key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 4 Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
- Lime slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring the crust is evenly distributed along the bottom and sides.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, low sodium Greek yogurt, key lime juice, lime zest, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the slightly cooled crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Once chilled, garnish with whipped cream and lime slices if desired before serving.
Slice and enjoy your delicious low sodium Key Lime Pie!
