Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cups Key lime juice
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Key lime zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and key lime juice until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and bake for 12-15 minutes until the filling is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 6

Once the pie has chilled, prepare the whipped lime topping by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, key lime zest, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the set lime filling, creating the second layer.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with additional lime zest or thin slices of key lime for decoration.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful two-layer key lime pie!
