Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 14 graham cracker sheets
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
Key Lime Filling:
- 2 ¼ cups sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/3 cups freshly squeezed key lime juice approximately 25 key limes or 2 lbs.
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 6 large egg yolks at room temperature
Fresh Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush the graham crackers in a sealed bag using a rolling pin.
- Add the melted butter and sugar and process on low until the butter is evenly incorporated with the crumbs.
- Add the crumbs to a 9-inch pie plate and use your hands to press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides. Use a large spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to assist in pressing up the sides.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- To a large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lemon juice, sugar and egg yolks. Use a whisk to stir until everything is combined and smooth.
- Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges of the filling are set and the center is just beginning to set.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for an hour before placing the pie in the refrigerator to cool for 8 hours.
- Add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip on high until stiff peaks form when you lift the beaters from the cream.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last for 3-4 days.
