- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
For The Filling
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons key lime zest (grated)
- 1 (14 ounces) can of condensed milk (sweetened)
- 2⁄3 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed)
For The Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Instructions
For The Crust
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9-inch pie plate by buttering it.
- In a food processor, crush graham crackers into crumbs.
- Combine melted butter and sugar in a food processor.
- Using your fingers, press mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan, forming a neat border around the outside.
- Bake for about 8 minutes or until the crust is golden and set. Place on a wire rack; keep the oven on.
For The Filling
- Beat the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed for 5 minutes in an electric mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment.
- Add the condensed milk gradually and continue beating until thick, 3-4 minutes.
- Add lime juice slowly to the mixer, mixing until just combined.
- In a pie crust, pour the filling and bake for about 10 minutes until it begins to set.
- Let cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. It is best to freeze for 15-20 minutes before serving.
For The Topping
- Using a mixer, whip the cream and confectioner's sugar until nearly stiff.
- Cut pie into wedges and serve cold with whipped cream on top.
- If desired, garnish with a slice of key lime.
