Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Key lime juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
• 1 tablespoons lime zest
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles damp sand.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, using the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to pack it tightly.

Step 4

Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, Key lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing it to set properly.

Step 8

Just before serving, make the whipped cream topping. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a cold mixing bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 9

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the set pie.

Step 10

Garnish with additional lime zest or lime slices if desired.

Step 11

Slice and serve cold. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
