Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs for crust base
– 1/3 cup melted butter for binder
– 1/4 cup sugar for sweetener
– 4 egg yolks for lightening and thickening
– 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk for creaminess and sweetness
– 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice for tart flavor
– Whipped cream for topping
Notes
🍋 Use fresh key lime juice if available – it has a more intense flavor than regular lime juice, but regular limes work well too.
❄️ For the cleanest slices, chill the pie for at least 6 hours or overnight before cutting with a sharp knife dipped in hot water.
🥧 Don’t overbake the filling – it should be set but still have a slight jiggle in the center as it will continue to set while cooling.
