Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 0.5 cups key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional for serving)
- 1 small lime slices or zest (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly and firmly into a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust, covering the bottom and slightly up the sides.
Bake the crust for 8 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, and lime zest until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is just set and slightly jiggles in the center when moved.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices or additional lime zest for extra flavor and decoration.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your deliciously easy Key Lime Pie!
