Key Lime Pie Recipe

Ingredients for the crust:

1/3 lb crushed Graham Crackers
5 tbsp melted butter
1/3 cup Sugar

Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9″ pie pan.

Step 2 – Process graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a food processor until combined. Press mixture into bottom and sides of prepared pan then bake 8 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Ingredients for the filling:

3 Egg Yolks
2 tsp Lime Zest
14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk
2/3 cup Lime Juice

Step 3 – Whip egg yolks and lime zest until fluffy, slowly add in condensed milk while continuing to beat until thoroughly combined. Add lime juice and beat on low speed until just combined.

Step 4 – Pour into crust and bake for 10 minutes or until filling sets. Remove and cool on a rack, then refrigerate for several hours.

Ingredients for the topping:

1 cup Heavy Cream
1 tbsp Sugar

Step 5 – Remove pie from fridge and place in freezer while you prepare topping, about 15 minutes.

Step 6 – Whip cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Remove the pie from the freezer and garnish with whipped cream before serving. I also like to add some lime zest.

The three parts might make the recipe seem like a lot of work but once you have read through the recipe you'll see how easy each step is. You can easily start this recipe in the morning before you start your dinner prep leaving the whipped topping until just before you serve.

The buttery crust is the perfect touch to this recipe, it is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Sit back and enjoy all your hard work as you bite into a piece of Key Lime Pie. Bon Appetit!
