Creamy pie with key lime flavor, crisp crust, and billowy cream. A cool Florida treat, ready in just a few steps.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Crust
01 - 150 g graham cracker crumbs
02 - 70 g granulated sugar
03 - 85 g unsalted butter, melted
→ Filling
04 - 4 large egg yolks
05 - 400 g sweetened condensed milk
06 - 120 ml key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
07 - 1 tbsp finely grated lime zest
→ Topping
08 - 240 ml cold heavy whipping cream
09 - 2 tbsp powdered sugar
10 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 - Set the oven to 175°C.
02 - Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
03 - Firmly press the mixture into the base and sides of a 23 cm pie dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and allow to cool slightly.
04 - In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks with lime zest for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Add sweetened condensed milk and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in key lime juice until fully incorporated.
05 - Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the surface. Bake for 12 minutes, until the filling is just set but still slightly wobbly at the center.
06 - Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
07 - With an electric mixer, whip cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
08 - Spread or pipe whipped cream over the chilled pie before serving.
