Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 egg yolks
- 6 key limes (for zesting and juicing)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- Nellie & Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice ((if needed))
- Whipped topping to garnish ((optional))
Instructions
- Step 1 – Make the Crust. Combine melted butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in crushed graham crackers. Spread evenly into a 9-inch pie plate and press onto bottom and sides to form an even crust (use the bottom of a measuring cup to press firmly). Chill for 1 hour until firm OR bake at 375°F for 5 minutes and allow to cool before filling.
- Step 2 – Prepare the Filling. Preheat oven to 350°F.. Zest key limes until you have 2 teaspoons of zest, then juice them into a ½ cup measuring cup. If the ½ cup isn’t full, add bottled key lime juice to fill completely. Whisk egg yolks until thick and light yellow using a stand or electric mixer. Slowly add sweetened condensed milk on low speed while mixing. Gradually add key lime juice and zest, mixing on low just until blended.
- Step 3 – Bake the Pie Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Step 4 – Serve Garnish with whipped topping, lime slices, and a little lime zest if desired.
