A classic Key Lime Pie with a sweet and tart balance that brings back summer memories with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Lime wedges and whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until it is golden brown. Let it cool.
  4. Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and salt until smooth in another bowl.
  5. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and chill for at least 3 hours.
  7. Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form to make the whipped cream.
  8. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
  9. Garnish with lime wedges and more whipped cream, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh key lime juice for the best flavor. Make sure to let the pie chill adequately for the filling to set properly.
