Making a key lime pie has never been easier! This recipe is fast and takes less than an hour.
Ingredients:
Graham cracker crust:
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter
Filling:
- 2 14-oz cans sweetened condensed milk
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 cup key lime juice
Topping:
- whipped cream
Instructions:
- Set the oven to 350 F degrees.
- Add the sugar and graham crackers in a bowl and mix them well. Include the butter and mix again until all of the crackers are covered in butter.
- Get a 9-inch plate and place the graham cracker base on the bottom and on the sides. Use pressure to make it thin and even.
- Place the dish in the oven for 10 minutes, then let it cool down for another 10.
- While you’re waiting you can make the filling.
- Mix the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and egg yolks. Whisk to blend the ingredients together.
- When the crust is cooled down, you can add the filling on top of it.
- Bake the key lime pie once again for 18 to 22 minutes. You’ll know that it’s done when it’s a little jiggly like a jelly.
- Let it cool down for 2 hours on a rack, then place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours. Add the whipped cream and you can now serve your pie.
