Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 10 full graham crackers
  • 1/3 cup sugar for the crust
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice about 20-25 key limes
  • 1 tablespoon key lime zest
  • Whipped cream for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it looks like wet sand. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.

Make the Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and key lime zest until thick.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to mix. Finally, whisk in the key lime juice until smooth and creamy.

Bake the Pie:

  • Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for 15 minutes, just until the center is set.
  • Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
