Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides to form the crust.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

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

Step 6

Pour the lime filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie for 15 minutes, or until the filling is just set and slightly jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 9

In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Garnish with lime slices or additional lime zest, if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve cold. Enjoy your Texas Lime Pie!
