Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Set out a 9" pie pan/pie dish.
Make crust
- Combine crust ingredients (graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter) in a mixing bowl and stir to combine well.
- Transfer mixture to 9” pie pan and press evenly into the bottom and sides of pan.
- Bake the crust for 9 minutes, then set aside.
Make filling
- While crust is baking, make the pie filling by adding the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, sour cream, key lime juice, lime zest, and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Use hand mixer to beat together for about 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Tap bowl gently on a counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles from the mixing.
- Pour filling into baked crust, spreading into an even layer.
Bake
- Bake in the 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, until the center is just slightly jiggly when nudged, then remove and let sit at room temperature to cool completely.
Chill
- Once cooled, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2-3 hours, or up to overnight.
Serve
- To serve, add swirls of whipped cream around the outside edge of the pie, and sprinkle the whipped cream with a bit of lime zest, with halved key lime slices arranged in a fan shape in the center of the pie.
Notes
- Recipe makes one 9" pie, with the suggested serving being 1/8th of the pie.
- I highly recommend using freshly squeezed lime juice for this recipe.
- If key limes aren't available, you can substitute with regular limes.
