Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Add the melted butter to the crumb mixture and stir until evenly moistened.
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 8 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and Key lime juice until smooth and well combined.
Pour the pie filling mixture into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until the filling is set and tiny bubbles appear on the surface.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle lime zest over the top for garnish.
Slice and serve chilled for the best experience.
