Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons lime zest
• 0.5 cups key lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 cups whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 1 lime slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until all the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to compress the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the pie for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggles when shaken.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 9

Once chilled, optionally top with whipped cream and garnish with lime slices before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Real Easy Key Lime Pie!
