Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 3 large egg yolks
• 0.5 cup key lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 0 whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 lime slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 9

Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices, if desired.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Easy Delicious Key Lime Pie!
